Can union dues from past years be carried over for 2007?

If I can carry over my dues (i have never claimed) from past years , It would help my deductions.

    Miscellaneous Itemized deductions can only be claimed on Schedule A in the year they are paid.

    IF the following amounts don't total to more than your standard deduction (For 2007: $5350 singles, $10700 married filing joint ), then you would not benefit from filing the Schedule A.

    Itemized deductions are:

    real estate taxes,

    mortgage interest,

    state income or sales taxes,

    charitable contributions,

    medical expenses over 7.5% of your income, and

    employee business expense

    No, on any year's return you can only deduct expenses actually paid in that year.
