Do Your Clients Pay a Surcharge for Part B?

If your clients are deemed to be high earners (based on their tax returns from 2 years ago –modified adjusted gross income), the IRMAA surcharge will automatically be taken out of their Social Security check each month. They will see this listed separately on their SS statment.

Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amount = IRMAA
