Combined Medicare Part B premiums and IRMAA surcharges will range from $220.40 per month to $491.60 per month per person in 2020. High-income Medicare beneficiaries are also subject to monthly surcharges for their Medicare Part D prescription drug plans.

2020 IRMAA is calculated using the most recent tax returns available to the IRS - this would be your 2018 tax returns that were filed in 2019. What is considered income: "Income" for purposes of IRMAA is defined as MAGI or Modified Adjusted Gross Income.

Unlike late enrollment penalties, which can last as long as you have Medicare coverage, IRMAA is calculated every year. You may have to pay the adjustment one year, but not the next if your income falls below the threshold.

A life-changing event is connected with the Income-related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA). A major event can significantly decrease a person's income and that can affect the premium he or she will pay for Medicare Part B, medical insurance.

What Is Form SSA-44? Form SSA-44 is a form provided by the Social Security Administration (SSA) that you can use to apply for a reduction in your IRMAA.
