Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It depends on a few things:

  • Did you make a profit on the sale?  You will need to calculated a profit  including original cost plus improvements plus selling cost.  The total of these amounts will be deducted from the sale price of the home. 
  • You have been in your home for many years,  if there is a profit you will be able to exclude up to $500,000 if married or $250,000 if single.   If there is a profit left after the exemption you may have a tax liability depending on your other income, deductions, etc.

The following provides more information on this:
