I sold a rental property in December 2015 as a 1031 exchange and filed 8824 with 2015 taxes. How does TT transfer basis, etc, to the new rental? Do I just delete the old?

I sold a rental property in December 2015 as a 1031 exchange, bought new property in January 2016, filed form 8824 with 2015 taxes, now for 2016, TT still has my old rental listed. Do I manually create the new rental for a schedule E and enter the like-kind basis manually? TT doesn't seem to have transferred any info on this from 2015 to 2016. the old rental is still listed. Do I just manually delete it?

see my very detailed answer about 1031 exchanges

Click on the main BUSINESS tab, (to the right of personal info), CONTINUE, then select I’LL CHOOSE WHAT I WORK ON.  That leads you to a page called LET’S GATHER YOUR BUSINESS INFO. Scroll down to LESS COMMON BUSINESS SITUATIONS and select UPDATE for SALES OF BUSINESS PROPERTY.  On page ANY OTHER PROPERTY SALES? Check ANY ADDITIONAL LIKE-KIND EXCHANGES (SECTON 1031), then CONTINUE.  That takes you to page LIKE-KIND EXCHANGES; make sure to CHECK  the THE LIKE-KIND PROPERTY I EXCHANGED WAS USED IN.  Here you input the adjusted basis for the property for are “giving up”; (note: the values are pro-rated proportionally if more than one “replacement” property is involved.  In my case I bout to identical duplexes, with exact same costs and purchase amounts, so it was easy; I just input half the total amounts in these boxes.).

Then select CONTINUE to navigate to LIKE-KIND PROPERTY RECEIVED and put in the full amount of the purchase price.  CONTINUE.  Answer next few questions, and put in the “proportionate amount of expenses” for this purchase (the proportionate costs to sell, plus the costs to buy the new property). Answer the next few questions. In a few screens – at YOUR LIKE-KIND EXCHANGE RESULTS: DEFFERED GAINS” TT will show your deferred gains, and then CONTINUE ... @ NEW PROPERTY BASIS … TT shows the new property Tax Basis; (note this amount includes the land value, so you will have to break that out later when you return to that property detail area --back at the LET’S GATHER BUSINESS INFO, then RENTAL PROPERTIES AND ROYALTIES” area) to input the land value and new “Unadjusted Tax Basis for the Improvements”. 

To do that navigate by choosing: UPDATE, answer YES to review your rental and royalty info, answer questions, then at RENTAL AND ROYALTY SUMMARY select the subject property to EDIT, then select ASSETS/DEPRECIATION;…  UPDATE; select “Yes, I want to go to my asset summary”, CONTINUE; select EDIT at the property; choose type (RENTAL RE PROPERTY), CONTINUE; choose RESIDENTIL RENTAL RE, CONTINUE. Here is where you put in the new property Tax Basis (at COST), and breakout the land portion just below.  Answer questions.  If multiple properties, then repeat for each.
