In 2018, I paid a year's rent in advance for my office. The lease included 2019. Can I include the 2019 portion of the rent in my 2019 return?

You can. As long as you haven't claimed it as a deduction on the 2018 tax return.

Actually, the deduction SHOULD be on the 2018 return. It was paid in 2018 and was for 1 year or less, so that puts it all on the 2018 return.
