You cannot deduct passive losses if you do not have any net income from your property rental for the tax year. Passive losses cannot reduce your income from wages, but you can defer the losses to future tax years or deduct any losses carried forward when selling the rental house that generated the loss.
Trips from your home to the paint store and the house are deductible, either by claiming the actual cost or deducting a standard per-mile rate. If you reporting rental income on a cash basis, as most owners do, you claim the deduction in the same tax year you pay the bill for repairs.
