Reading the answer you referenced brings up a good point. When you are entering your information in TurboTax for the rental property, the program will ask if it was rented all year. Your answer will be 'no', but if you enter the number of rental days as zero, then TurboTax will want you to delete the property altogether. Plan the renovations so that there are some rental days during the calendar year. Also, continue to advertise the property for rent through the renovations. Since it is a vacation rental, you should be able to keep it available for future dates.
