My client made about $60,000 improvements/remodel to a rental duplex prior to relinquishing the property in a like kind exchange (LKE.) How do I enter those improvements in a way that they increase the basis of the property? These were made the same year as property exchanged - no entry for depreciation. Had they been entered as improvements Lacerte does not recognize as real property eligible for a 2019 LKE and a critical diagnostic pops up.

Thank you.
