If I sell a house for cash only. Do I have to claim capital gains tax on my taxes?

See https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc701

Note the exclusion for a principal residence.

Otherwise, it makes no difference whether you sell for cash or provide financing, with the exception of installment sale treatment.
