Rental Property Business Deduction

I purchased a beach vacation rental property (i.e. short-term rentals) on 27 Sep 22.  Although it was available for rent, it was not rented at all in 2022, because Fall / Winter is a very slow season.  However, I did incur many expenses, as I used the time it was vacant to upgrade the property.  Turbo tax is not allowing me to use a schedule E, apparently because there was no income last year.  Are there any business deductions available to me.
