How do I get 2 depreciating improvements (orig cost) added to line 21 of form 4797 (p 2) - it is only showing cost (of home) plus sales expenses (commissions)?

Say the cost of rental was 100,000, added 2 improvements, new roof (5K) and sewer line (2k); they have gone through a couple years depreciating. Sold the home for 150,000 in 2017 (line 20, pg 2 4757). So cost, 100,000, plus other basis (5,000+2,000), plus 20,000 in commissions should be what pops up in line 21 of pg 2, 4757 or 27,000, but all I am getting is the 100,000 (home cost) + 20,000 (commission). Any help is appreciated. thanks
