If you lived in the home at least two of the five years before selling, you needn't report the sale unless the profit from the sale is more than 250,000, or 500,000 if filing Marred Filing Jointly.
There was a time where you had to roll the funds into a new home or pay capital gains, but that has been revised.
There are no deductions for building a new home. (other than perhaps energy credits)
Keep the documents to figure the cost of the home in case things change in the future, such as making it a rental.
