How do I handle section 1245 home office(day care)assets unrecapture when selling home? Assets classified as home office (1250) work fine through linking on asset sheet.

I have 2 assets as home office (day care) - the house + land and a bathroom improvement - and they seem to flow correctly to the home sale worksheet with recapture of depreciation taken. 4 other assets are broken out as 7 and 15 year depreciation - land improvement, appliances, etc.  The asset sheets won't let me link them to the home sale - only assets classified as home asset (Sec 1250) seem to work? I think I need to recapture the depreciation taken on these 4 assets somehow?  Any gain from these should go to the home sale and be deferred versus paying capital gain? The only way I can seem to get recapture is to enter a sales price for them equal to the recapture plus book value - but then I end up with a capital gain on the 8829 worksheet Part II Line 4 that should be rolled forward with the house for the future?
