the reason!<\/b><br \/>\nBy Beth Cooper Ingle<br \/>\nThe \u201cBig Day\u201d is fast approaching!<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>You will be age 65 soon.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>You\u2019ve done everything you need to begin this new life; notified your employer you\u2019re retiring, contacted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssa.gov\">Social Security<\/a> and filed for Social Security benefits and Medicare, and talked to your Financial Planner.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>You can already imagine you and your spouse on that beach in Florida or in a cabin in Wisconsin.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Smooth sailing until you receive a letter from Social Security telling you your Medicare Part B Premium will be increased to $289.20 per month.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>You are also notified that an additional $31.50 will be added to your Medicare Part D Premium. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>To add insult to injury your spouse received a similar letter informing him\/her of the same increases.<br \/>\nWhat IRMAA why am I being affected by it, you ask yourself?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>IRMAA is the acronym for Income-Related Medicare Adjustment Amount.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>IRMAA was a law enacted to help ensure Medicare will there for you when the time comes.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If you have higher income, the law requires an adjustment to your monthly Medicare Part B premium and your Medicare prescription drug coverage premium.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If you are married and filed a joint tax return, your spouse\u2019s premiums would be adjusted also even if they had not worked.<br \/>\nSocial Security determines how much you will pay for your Medicare Part B premiums and prescription drug plan based on your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) from two years prior to the Premium Year (PY).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Your MAGI is your total adjusted gross income plus tax-exempt interest income.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If you file taxes \u201cmarried, filing jointly\u201d and your MAGI is greater than $174,000, you will pay higher premiums.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If you file taxes as \u201cSingle, Head of Household, or Qualifying Widow\u201d you will pay a higher premium if your MAGI is greater than $87,000.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If your income is not greater than the amounts mentioned, this law does not apply to you.<br \/>\nThe IRS provides Social Security information from your most recent tax return.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>For instance, in 2020 IRS provides information from your 2019 tax return for tax year 2018.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If you amended your tax return for that year and it changes your MAGI, it is up to you to provide Social Security proof of the amended return and acknowledgement receipt from the IRS.<br \/>\nIf your income has gone down due a Life Changing Event (LCE) such as married, divorced, widowed or loss of income, and you have documentation of this, you may ask Social Security for a new decision.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Social Security can provide a more complete list of the LCE\u2019s.<\/p>\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\"><b>If you filed your taxes as:<\/b><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\"><b>And your MAGI was:<\/b><\/td>\n<td
