I agree with @Critter-3 , for what that is worth.
You cannot use an improper method and TurboTax is selecting the proper one. This can be subject to an override in the program but you would do that at your own peril.
As a side note, I do not quite understand why you might possibly believe that putting residential rental real estate in service late in the year would give you an option to select a different method of depreciation.
