The original question was posted and answered prior to the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017. The dates are misleading because any date prior to May-June of 2019 were reset to the May-June 2019 time frame when the posts were migrated from the old system to the current one.
As noted by Onomastico, this question is obsolete because these expenses are no longer deductible.
