If the property was being repaired due to a casualty and was available for rent before and after the damage/repairs without personal usage, yes, you would be able to deduct your regular rental expenses.
If the property remained a rental unit, money you spent to bring the property back to usable property would either be depreciated or expensed, depending on what you did. If you had to do a new roof that would be an asset to be depreciated. If you bought a new stove for $500 that could be expensed.
The expenses would be entered in the rental expense section. A deductible isn't really something you can deduct. The deductible would be the money you paid out of pocket to put the property back into working order.
You cannot deduct expenses for items paid for by the insurance company. If you received payments from the insurance company for lost rental income, you would need to include this as rental income on your return.
