For my depreciation schedule, the CPA added new depreciation assets in 2017.
One is $4905 cost basis, he took the SDA, and then is depreciating the remainder as 150DB HY over 27.5 years.
Another is $5795 cost basis, took the SDA, and is depreciating the rest as 200DB HY over 27.5 years.
This is apparently not a legitimate combo in TurboTax. When I choose Other asset type and choose Residential 27.5 yr property, it does not allow me to check SDA or neither 150DB nor 200DB options. The only allowable methods are SL and ADS.
How do I file my return at this point?

You will probably have to amend 2017. The special depreciation allowance is not allowed for rental real property which is the only asset that can be depreciated over 27.5 years.
If he was depreciating an appliance, it's useful life is not 27.5 years but 5 years.
Please see appliance under 5 year property and other assets in the screenshots below.
