Deductions & credits

If you meet all of the qualifications to exclude the gain from tax, you do not need to report the sale on your U.S. tax return unless you were given a Form 1099-S, which since the transaction was outside of the U.S., I imagine is not the case. 

 

You can simply ignore the transaction if it is fully excluded from tax by reason of being under $500,000 in gain (for a married couple filing jointly) and it was your main home (primary residence) for any 2 of the proceeding 5 years.
