You do not need to report anything related to the sale or purchase, since you owned and lived in the house for at least 2 of the last 5 years, and your gain was less than $250,000 (single) or $500,000 (joint).

If you itemize deductions, you may want to review the closing documents to see if any real estate taxes were paid by you or credited to you, since those are deductible.
