I'm writing out a trio for the song "It is Well With My Soul" with the song being in Concert C major. I thought Bb Clarinet would go to D major, but maybe it is Bb? I'm very very very confused and need the answer now. Please help.

You were initially correct! Because the Bb Clarinet sounds a whole step lower than it is written, you need to compensate for that by writing it up one step from non-transposing instruments. Therefore, if you write its part in D Major (Two sharps - F# and C#) the notes it plays will sound a whole step lower - in C Major.
Also, just a side note: I'm a music major in college and have studied music since I was in 3rd grade, don't get discouraged by transposition, it throws everyone off, even professionals!! ;)

Its a song when someone sings. Its music when its instrumental. If the music is written in the key of C, the orchestra plays in that key. Your clarinet is a Bb clarinet playing in the key of C.

You would need to write in D major; one tone above
