They took a chainsaw and cut in half?

Create two new assets with 50% of the Basis and prior depreciation as the original asset.

Delete the original asset.

Sell one of the new 50% assets.

Thank you so much for the advice.  It worked perfectly and I was able to finish the return without having to wait until after the 18th (which several CPAs told me).  Your solution was so simple -- why didn't they think of that?
