How do you make either election in TurboTax? Either one would solve my problem.
Since you converted one of your properties to personal use, you do *NOT* want to group properties. Once you group properties, you can not ungroup them.
Work through the rental section again, and in the property profile section is a screen for specifically and explicitly for active participation. Select whatever is necessary to indicate you are an active participant. Then, (and this is important!) you must *FINISH* working through the property profile section until you get to a screen with a "DONE" button on it, and actually click that DONE button.
I would provide a screen shot. But you're using the online version and I use the CD version. So my screen does not look like yours.
