Lived in it for 7 years. Sold for 80k. Owed 50k. Paid off the 50 and banked the rest. Do I have to show as income?

The difference between sales amount and what you owe on the mortgage is not income.

You probably need a tax preparer to help you with your taxes.

ETA: What kind of house sells for only $80,000?!?
