I wrote a check dated December 29, 2018 to the Salvation Army and put it in the mail that same day. The amount was $35.00. This check did NOT clear until January 23, 2019. Should I claim this as a deduction for 2019? I did not receive an acknowledgement letter to help me figure this out. Thanks!

You donated in 2018 and should claim it in 2018.
