I hand delivered a check in the amount of $100.00 for my church's fundraiser. It was dated September 24, 2023. It did not get deposited. The check was ultimately found stuck between someone's desk and the wall on January 29, 2024. I told the charity to go ahead and deposit the check. It finally got deposited on February 21, 2024. I just mailed my 1040 tax return on February 21, 2024. Can I take this as a deduction for 2024? If so, I will ask the charity to add it to my 2024 contributions. Please advise. This has been frustrating to say the least. I do not want to file an amended return.
