My school taxes are split. one payment in sept of 2018 and one in jan of 2019. Do i file the tax paid in Jan on my 2018 taxes or 2019?

You can only claim taxes actually paid in 2018 on your 2018 tax return. If your tax payments were split in the same way for the prior year, perhaps you made the second payment in Jan. 2018 and can claim it along with your Sept. 2018 payment on your 2018 tax return.
