Deductions & credits

It appears you do not need to report the sale of your home.  Here is the IRS Publication that lists the requirements.  

 

"You need to report the gain if ANY of the following is true.

  • You have taxable gain on your home sale (or on the residential portion of your property if you made separate calculations for home and business) and don’t qualify to exclude all of the gain.

  • You received a Form 1099-S. If so, you must report the sale even if you have no taxable gain to report.

  • You wish to report your gain as a taxable gain even though some or all of it is eligible for exclusion. You may wish to do this if, for example, you plan to sell another main home within the next 2 years and are likely to receive a larger gain from the sale of that property. If you choose to report, rather than exclude, your taxable gain, you can undo that choice by filing an amended return within 3 years of the due date of your return for the year of the sale, excluding extensions."

Of course as bullet three and others have mentioned you may report the sale if you wish for any reason.
