Amend tax

Hi, I have a question regarding donation. I donated a few hundred dollars cash to  a school on 4/15/ 2018, but accidently reported this donation as a itemized deduction in Schedule A in the year 2017 tax return.   What should I do? Should I amend both 2017yr and 2018 yr tax return? I think I should deduct the donation in 2018 tax return not 2017 tax return. I realize this error now. Will I get penalty by IRS for the year 2017 tax return because I made deduction in 2017?  Thank you so much.

Amend tax

don't worry about it and don't Amend.

It all evens out in the long run.

 

Figure the two changed taxable amounts; the difference is probably negligible or zero.
