Do I have to pay taxes on insurance paid on apartment building due to fire We r corporation?
Maybe.. The best way to describe the situation is to think of it as a sale of the property. You don't have to pay taxes on insurance proceeds up to the amount of your tax basis on the property. You will have to pay taxes on any payments above your tax basis. If you receive more than your basis you pay tax on the gain. This is assuming the property is a total loss. If it was repaired, then your basis would transfer to the repaired property, no loss, no gain.

If you sell your fire damaged home prior to the payment of the insurance claim are you still entitled to the insurance money?
Or nothing at all. You owned the house at the time of the fire. It was YOUR property that was damaged, and you owned fire insurance to cover yourself against a loss from fire. When you sold your fire-damaged home, you took a hit on the sale price: you didn't get as much as you would have had the house been perfect. You are entitled to whatever the claim adjuster estimated the cost of the repair would be.
