I did a direct transfer of 35K from TSP to a tradnl IRA in 2018; only 32K went to the IRA; they sent me a 3k check. Can I send the 3K to my IRA without being taxed?

No, you cannot send $3,000 to your IRA to avoid taxation on that amount if more than 60 days have elapsed since you received the check, as this is the maximum time for a roll-over.
