No, if you don't have any expenses to claim, you don't have to report anything on your 2016 return for your home. However, make sure that you don't have any mortgage interest, points or real estate taxes that you paid when you closed on your house in November. Check your closing statement to see these costs.

What should I do? We bought with cash. We do not have a mortgage or loan. It keeps asking me for mortgage information and it won't go forward with my return.
