IRMAA is a sneaky Medicare surcharge that can significantly increase your healthcare 🏥 expenses in retirement if you’re not aware of it.

To determine if you’re subject to IRMAA charges, the Social Security Administration uses your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) from your tax return two years ago.

That means if your 2021 MAGI was more than $97,000 as a single filer or $194,000 as a joint filer, your 2023 Medicare Part B premiums may increase by as much as $395.60 per month due to IRMAA. IRMAA can also increase your Part D premiums by as much as $76.40. 💰📈💸

While there are ways to appeal IRMAA, the easiest way to avoid it is to keep your retirement income below the threshold.
