I would also change out the oil and filter before you put it away, but being in an insulated garage, I wouldn't worry about much else.

Changing the oil and filter wouldn't be a bad idea unless it has been changed recently.

Yeah if it was outdoors then yeah probably throw a tarp over it but in a garage I wouldn't do anything special

NO! I've seen a plastic tarp act like Sand Paper on an older truck... I'd buy a pop up garage and put it in the driveway, too much humidity/condensation on grass/dirt.

yeah, you could easily build a pop up garage with some tarp, aluminum tubes and some cinder blocks
