If i did not claim medicare premiums for other years can i still claim them?

Can I deduct medicare premiums paid in 2017 on my 2018 return?  I failed to include them on my 2017 return.

Unfortunately, no. Each tax year is separate. You would need to amend your 2017 return.

You can amend returns that have been accepted by the IRS. If your return is pending, you won't be able to make any changes until it's accepted or rejected by the IRS. If you don't know your e-file status, we can help you check it. 

Be sure to print out a copy (or save a pdf copy) before making any changes.

Select a tax year for specific amending instructions.

Keep in mind: You have 3 years from the date you filed your return (or 2 years after you paid the tax due, whichever is later) to file an amended return, which means you don't have to get it done by the April 15 filing deadline.
