Please clarify - did you dispose of the property in 2024 or were you just given insurance proceeds to handle repairs for damages?

Just given insurance proceeds to handle repairs for damages.

If the insurance proceeds returns the property to it's "pre-damaged" state, the insurance is not reported as income and the basis is not adjusted.
