Does IRMAA go away automatically if my income drops, or do I need to report it to Social Security?

I would recommend that you "remind" Medicare of your lower income since at times, they will not necessarily "catch up" as quickly as you'd like them to (call 1-800-MEDICARE). Remember that chart contains SIX categories of AGI's so if you have a new lower income, it may not make any difference. You don't need to specifically report that since both the Medicare and the IRS computers usually communicate this info directly within 3 months (hopefully) after filing.

If your income drops, you must report it to Social Security to request a reduction.
