I'm claiming my mission trip cost as itemized deduction. My mission trip was this February but I paid part of cost in 2016. Should I claim all the cost together for 2017, or should I claim part of the cost based on the receipt dates?

Yes, you should claim part of the cost based on what you paid in 2016 or based on your 2016 receipt dates.
