I didn't make my Qualified charitable IRA distribution for 2018 until Jan 14th of 2019. How and where do I enter for my 2018 return?

Was this your first RMD?

No

You don't.  To include on a 2018 tax return, the QCD must have been made by December 31, 2018.

Enter it as if it were made in 2018. The screen says to enter the 2018 contribution including any that were made for 2018 between 01.01.2019 and 04.15.2019.

OP is asking about a distribution, not a contribution.
