I never knew I could claim out of pocket medical expenses before so I never put them on my taxes. Is it too late to claim them?

How do I amend them now?

No you can actually Amend 2015 return until 4-15-2019 (three years from the due date).

So 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 could be Amended right now.

However for you to take additional medical you must be able to first itemize and then it must exceed a certain percentage (7.5% or 10% based on your age) of the Adjusted Gross Income on the return.
