How do I carry forward medical expanses? My claim period is 02/01/2017 to 01/01/2018.

Medical expenses can only be claimed in a 12 month period with the final month ending in the tax year you are filing.  For example, you can claim for the period of January 2017 to December 2017.  If you have expenses incurred in 2018, they cannot be claimed on your 2017 income tax return.
