Do I have to pay taxes on Medicare?

Answered by 4 licensed agents

If you're on Medicare and not working? No, but if you're still working, then yes, through FICA tax for Social Security and Medicare Part A.

Generally the benefits are not taxable. They also have a Max out of pocket. I would like to show you the different plans.

If you mean pay taxes on receiving Medicare benefits, the simple answer is NO. However, if a person receives payments that are may more than the out of pocket cost of the medical expense, that may be taxable. Best to check with an accountant or tax attorney.

We all pay into Medicare while we are working but once you are on Medicare then no unless your income is above a certain level then you will pay.
