Sounds like this doesn't really need to be reported much at all. 

 

The insurance reimbursement is not taxable.  Don't enter it.

 

You also can't enter any of the expenses that the insurance paid for.  Cost of contractors, etc.  Don't enter them.

 

You mention that you have extra expenses that were not reimbursed in the 'personal property' section.  If the amounts you spent were for new assets then enter them as such.  If it was just for supplies replacements and things like that then enter them as expenses.

 

Your ongoing regular business activities should be entered as you have always entered your income and expenses.  There isn't any change because of the fire.  So it shouldn't be 'Other Income'.  Just regular old income and expenses.  

 

The basis you have in your building hasn't changed.  You will continue to depreciate it just as you always have.  

 

It sounds like you got lucky and had good insurance.  Good deal.
