Subject: Avoiding CapGain Tax schemas
After all these years of selling, I've not used any 'clever', but legal ways of avoiding the tax.

I am planning to sell 100% of my The Trade Desk (TTD) holdings. ~+160% gain, held over five years, FWIW.

I want to take half the proceeds as cash (and pay the tax), but the other half directly into adding to an existing NVO position.

Is there an easy way to avoid paying the tax on the half that I put straight into NVO? If yes, tax avoidance could amount to ~~~$5000.
