What you did with the proceeds of the sale of your home is irrelevant. The last time it mattered whether you re-invested into another house to avoid capital gains was 1997.
What is your question? You did not ask one.
SALE OF HOUSE
If your gain was more than $250,000 filing Single, or more than $500,000 filing Married Filing Jointly the sale must be reported on your tax return. Whether you re-invested the gain in to another house is irrelevant. If you have a Form 1099-S go to Federal>Wages and Income>Less Common Income>Sale of Home (gain or loss)
If you owned and lived in the home as your primary residence for at least 2 of the last 5 years on the date of the sale, you do not have to report the home sale if the gain is less than $250K filing Single, or less than $500K filing Married Filing Jointly (and you both owned and lived in the home for at least 2 years).
Not sure why you mentioned Etsy. Are you asking how to enter the self-employment income from selling items on Etsy?

Etsy shop net is less than $2,000.00 per year.
I am assuming you were self-employed and claimed a home office in the home. If so, and you took depreciation on the home office, that depreciation has to be recaptured when you report the sale. Therefore you'll need to report your sale under the "less common income" section is the "Sale of Home (Gain or Loss)" section under that.
When asked if you used the home during your period of ownership for anything other than your primary residence, answer *NO* (assuming you did not). Then a few screens later you'll be asked if you took any depreciation on the property, such as by claiming a home office or renting out a part of your home. Select YES and then you'll be prompted to enter the total of all depreciation taken during your ownership.
Take note that if you qualify for the "lived in 2 of last 5 years" capital gains tax exclusion, your recaptured depreciation is *NOT* included in that. So you *WILL* pay tax on any recaptured depreciation. No exceptions.
