Each year is filed independently of the previous year (other than certain carryovers). If your home sale was taxable you would just start in TurboTax Deluxe and walk through the questions. To specifically go to the home sale section do the following:

Click Federal
Income & Expenses
Click Show More next to Less common Income
Click Start next to Sale of Home (gain or loss)

If this was the sale of your primary home and the following apply, it may not be a taxable event and you may not need to file.

You owned the home the 2 of the last 5 years
You lived in the home for 24 months out of the last 5 years
You didn't sell another home in the 2 year period before the date of the sale
the gross proceeds were less than $250,000 (Single) or $500,000 (Married Filing Joint Return)
