What is the total dollar amount you can claim for medical expenses? If your expenses are over that amount what do you do ?

There’s not really a maximum amount. Instead, if your expenses are too low, you may not be able to claim them. This FAQ has the formula used to calculate how much you can claim: https://turbotax.community.intuit.ca/community/family-health/help/how-does-my-income-affect-how-much...

You can choose any 12-month period of medical expenses, so long as it ends in the tax year for which you are doing your taxes. So if you have a lot of expenses and don’t need them all to reduce your taxes, you can choose a period this year that only covers part of them, and then next year you can claim the rest.
