I completed the 8824 Like Kind Exchange on rental properties. 2019 tax year. How do I choose the new property as the new rental to depreciate and eliminate the old one?

I set up the new property as an asset with the adjusted basis of old property $168,000.  The basis of the like kind property received is $313,000 which includes the adjusted basis of the old property.  I would like to just have the new property to depreciate instead of keeping both.

That should have happened on the 2019 return ... seek local professional assistance to make sure you did it correctly or to make the correction.

This scenario can be quite complex.

As @Critter-3 wrote, consult with a local tax professional.
