IRMAA Part B
Most people with Medicare part B will pay the standard premium amount of $135.50 a month. If your modified adjusted gross income goes above certain income thresholds, you may pay an Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA Part B). Medicare uses the MAGI reported on your IRS tax return from 2 years prior to determine the amount you will pay. They do this in order to have access to a filed tax return in order to determine income.
