For example, your 2025 IRMAA will be based on your 2023 tax return.
MAGI includes:
Adjusted Gross Income (AGI)
Tax-exempt interest income
Untaxed foreign income
Social Security benefits not included in AGI
Other income items that may not be taxed but count toward MAGI.

IRMAA stands for: Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount, is a surcharge added to Medicare Part B and Part D premiums for those with higher incomes, calculated based on your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) from two years prior to the current year.

IRMAA is a surcharge added to Medicare Part B and D premiums when your yearly income is above certain thresholds.
2025 Income limit for IRMAA is $106,000.00 for individuals and $212,000.00 for couples.
Income over $106k could bring your Part B premium from $259 - $628.90 plus Part D and additional $13.70 - $85.80 a month.
If your income reduces while on Medicare you can submit an appeal through Social Security.
