Rental Property - Water Damage related questions

Hello, 

 

Last year, my rental property had water damage and I had to pay a lot of money out of pocket after insurance payments.  I have the following questions while using TurboTax:

1.) Under rental expenses, I could not find a relevant field, so I am including my out of pocket expenses under "Any Miscellaneous Expenses?" with explanation. Is this the right place? 

2.) I am wondering if I can include home insurance deductible in this section that I had to pay to the insurance.  Please clarify.

 

Thanks!

Your unreimbursed costs to repair water damage may be reported on Schedule E as repairs, maintenance, or under Miscellaneous Expenses with a custom description. The deductible you paid was actually part of the unreimbursed expense, so include that with the other costs.
