Managing IRMAA surcharges with strategic income planning

Many retirees are surprised to learn that higher income levels can lead to substantial increases in their Medicare Part B and Part D premiums through IRMAA (Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount) surcharges. These hidden costs can quietly erode your retirement income if not addressed with proper planning. At Assured Concepts Group, we proactively integrate Medicare decisions with your income distribution and tax strategies to help minimize these avoidable expenses.

We’ll help you understand:

How your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) directly impacts Medicare premiums

Timing considerations for realizing or deferring income to stay under IRMAA thresholds

Strategies to reduce reportable income, such as Roth conversions, qualified charitable distributions (QCDs), and tax-efficient withdrawal plans

How to appeal IRMAA surcharges if your income has recently declined due to retirement or life changes
