Thank you for replying to my question.

I tried changing the type to Z and putting in all my information but when I get to the "Asset Class" if I put in Rental Real Estate, it still won't let me change the Recovery period of 27.50 yrs.

If I put "no entry" in the Asset class, it will let me put in 17.93.  

Should I leave it as no entry?  I'm afraid I'm creating more problems by not having the property be classified in the correct class.

Here's what else I've tried:

I put in all the original information from the relinquished property, ie the date in service (ie 10/01/11), original purchase and land and also the Prior Depreciation.  Turbotax them generates the correct payment schedule of the first property.  Then I go in and change the Date in Service to the purchase date of the replacement property (ie 9/28/23).  Turbotax then generates an Asset Life History that is basically correct but it's starting on 9/28/23 and going for 27.5 yrs.  Can I just use that schedule, but only record depreciation for the first 17.93 yrs?

That does mess with the basis of the replacement property.
