Forgot to sell covered calls


I’ve been doing covered calls on apple for the past few years. I normally buy back the option if it’s in the money. I had a strike price of 147 and it closed at 147.04. I forgot to set an alarm and close it before hand.

Since now I’m going to get a huge tax hit next year since I’ve had it over 10 years, and made a lot of gains, other than selling other stock this year at some losses, is there anything else I could do to minimize the tax hit? It doesn’t make any difference if I buy apple on Monday correct?
