If the home was your main residence for 2 out of the 5 years that you owned the home (you qualified for no gain on the sale) there is no tax if you use some of the proceeds from the sale of the home for other investments.

If the money is being taken out of the investment (for example, if you sell the 100,000 investment for a capital gain) you will have to pay tax on the income from the investment.
