How do I describe residential rental property using TurboTax home and business version?

I'm trying to describe my residential rental property in turbotax and it only allows for nonresidential real estate, retail, restaurant, or leasehold improvement. None of these apply. I input rent, interest, management fees, and tried to enter this year's depreciation amount from my manager's summary. The turbotax is somehow coming up a different depreciation amount. The list indicates it is using a 15 year depreciation life, but my manager's summary lists 27.5 years for the building and 15 years for improvements.

Am I using the wrong product?

Should I just go with the depreciation amount the turbotax is indicating? ($4368 vs. manager's amount of $1486)

I also don't understand what MACRS convention is.
