When can you include rental expense in 2018 if check is written in Jan 2019?

You can't include it as a 2018 expense, since you didn't pay it in 2018 (whatever "it" is).

You are asking from TT Live, for which you are paying extra:

It really doesn't matter. If you didn't pay the expense in 2018, then you can't legally claim it as a 2018 expense on your 2018 tax return.
