Selling a home

Hi.  I plan on relocating to another state next year.  I have been living in this home for a little over 5 years.  When I sell the home, do I have to pay taxes on the sale.  Are the taxes paid on the difference between the purchase price and sale price?  Is there an amount exempt from taxes?  Do I pay federal or state taxes on the sale?  If there are state taxes, which state do I pay to? (I will be living in the state where the home is for about 2 months next year an in new state for about 10 months.)
