Can unpaid medical expenses from 2015 be included 0n tax return for 2016

Yes, you can deduct all medical expenses paid in 2016 if you itemize and the total expenses for you, your spouse, and your dependents exceed 10% of your adjusted gross income (7.5% if you're 65 or older as of December 31, 2016). The deduction is limited to the expenses above and beyond this amount.
