How far back can I claim medical expenses for my 2016 return? I have four years' worth that have not been claimed before. Anyone know?

You can claim medical expenses for a 12 month period only each year. If you have previous amounts you haven't claimed from past years, you may file an amendment to your previous returns.

A question in regards to the one year period: If an individual decides that they would like to submit expenses between July 2017 and July 2018, but only become eligible to file returns as of 2018. Can they still include expenses from 2017 (July to Dec 2017)?
