the year you paid it is what is important, not the year it was due.

 

So just put it on your taxes. 

 

Note that if you take the standard deduction, it will not have any effect

As NCperson stated earlier, you can claim these expenses in 2019, but they won’t give you a tax benefit unless your itemized deductions for the year are greater than your standard deduction.

Please see the TurboTax Help article “What's my standard deduction for 2019?” for more information.
