The Medicare "Penalty" Trap: Why Your Premium Just Doubled (IRMAA Audit)

Описание: You retired, downsized your home, and thought you were done with high taxes. Then you opened a letter from Social Security. Your Medicare Part B premium just jumped from $174 to $500+. Why? You triggered the "IRMAA Trap."

As The Finance Observer, I’ve performed a forensic review of the Social Security "2-Year Lookback" Rule. In this video, we dissect why the government treats your one-time home sale as "Permanent Income," the "False Positive" error in their system, and the specific "Anchor Event" strategy you must use on Form SSA-44 to force them to recalculate your bill.
