Did you receive a form 1099-S reflecting the sale of your home? I'm assuming this is your primary home. See the information I'm linking below to find the portion of the TurboTax interview that asks about the sale of your home.
Do you need to enter that you sold a house?
Go to Federal>Wages & Income>Less Common Income>Sale of Home
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).
NOTE: If you have ever used the home as rental property or claimed a home office, you have more information to enter
