You pay taxes on every gain. But you don't pay them until you file your tax return. So regardless of whether you sell the first half at a profit and the rest at another date, as long as you have a gain you will have to report that and pay taxes on it. Any lot you sell you need to report - gain or loss - if it is a gain you will pay taxes.
