Yes, if your medical expenses from the prior year are within the same 12-month window, you can carry them forward. 

 

If you did not use prior year medical amounts and if they occurred in a 12-months period that ends in the current tax year, you can claim these medical expenses from the prior year.

 

You can claim any eligible medical expenses if they occurred in a 12-month period that ends in the current tax year. After you enter your medical expenses, TurboTax will prompt you to choose your 12-month claim period. 

 

For example, the oldest medical expense that you can claim on your 2020 return is an expense from January 2, 2019, using a claim period of January 2, 2019, to January 1, 2020.
