I just reviewed my donations in Just Deductible for 2016.  Noticed that only a small donation picked up.  Can I claim the remaining donation in 2017.  Already transmitted 2016

No, only donations made in 2017 can be reported on 2017 tax return.  And 2016 donations can only be claimed only on 2016 tax return.

Depending on the amount, though, adding the small donation may not make a difference on your refund. If, for example the donations is for $100, the outcome may be $10-15 difference.

If your return has not been accepted - you may make the change if it is rejected for some reason.  If it accepted, you would have to amend and print and mail the return; here are amending instructions:https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1894381-how-to-amend-change-or-correct-a-return-you-already-filed
