Name You may use this form if you received a notice that your monthly Medicare Part B medical insurance or prescription drug coverage premiums include an income-related monthly adjustment amount IRMAA and you experienced a life-changing event that may reduce your IRMAA. To decide your IRMAA we asked the Internal Revenue Service IRS about your adjusted gross income plus certain tax-exempt income which we call modified adjusted gross income or MAGI from the Federal income tax return you filed for tax year 2016. If that was not available we asked for your tax return information for 2015. We took this information and used the table below to decide your income-related monthly adjustment amount. The table below shows the income-related monthly adjustment amounts for Medicare premiums based on your tax filing status and income.
