I used my bank's electronic bill payment service to pay the 2019 home- owners association fees for several rental properties. The funds were withdrawn from my checking account on December 28.
The payments were sent via physical checks, and the bank estimates that they will be delivered on January 4, 2019.
Is there any reason that these payments wouldn't be deductible in 2018?
(The only guidance I've been able to find on this situation is Pub. 526, which provides the rules for charitable contributions paid via mailed checks.)
Thanks!
