Remodeling Rental Property

I have spent all of 2022 remodeling a rental property.  This property was in service before 2022.  It was not offered for rent in 2022.

TTax has a box to check indicating that this property was not rented or offered for rent in 2022.  I am assuming that I should check that box.  Any affects that I should be aware of?

Please also verify that I cannot deduct any of my remodel expenses in 2022 since it was not rented or offered for rent in 2022.  Am I correct in understanding that I can only deduct these expenses once it is offered for rent?  If so, I am assuming that I aggregate all of my 2022 and 2023 expenses (assuming that it goes back on the market in 2023) and deduct those expenses then. Correct? 

 

Thanks.
