A hurricane hit us last year and was declared a federal disaster. Insurance paid us to fix damages. Do I need to report the total and/or excess money received from claim?
Hurricane Milton caused damage to our roof and fencing, but insurance was able to cover total cost with some money leftover. Generally, do I need to report disaster claims like this in my tax return?
Also, does the disaster tax break only apply if you have a casualty loss (ie. if insurance did not cover full cost)? I was planning on taking standard deductions for this year
