I had a longer, more detailed reply, but it kept getting marked as spam. Hopefully this shorted version will help. Here are the steps.
- Enter the like-kind exchange information first to determine your cost basis for the new property. This is under Sale of Business Property (not Sch E).
- Enter the new property information for the property you bought in the exchange. (Sch E) Use the calculated cost basis from Step 1 and the date the property was put into service.
- Enter the old property information. Technically, the property was not sold, but exchanged. Do not report it as being sold, but report the dates it was taken out of service.
