If you deduct the cost of he repairs/loss...then the insurance settlment is taxable income (essentially replacing the amount of the deduction/loss you took and really didn't have because you were reimbursed for it). Or if you don't expense the repairs, the recovery isn't taxable.

Can you keep house insurance money instead of fixing a damaged floor?

Its your $$$ now !!! you can do with it what you want. * If the home is not still under a mortgage contract the homeowner is not obligated to use insurance funds for repairs of the property. However, if repairs are not done the insurance provider can refuse any claim if the flooring or adjoining structure is damaged further. If the home is still mortgaged repairs must be made as the lender would have to sign the insurance check as well as the homeowner/borrower. All mortgage contracts stipulate that the property must be kept in the same or better condition as it was when the property was purchased and lending agreement made. You could BUT that would be called insurance fraud... Lis@
