Social Security Fairness Act and IRMAA
Did you know your client's Adjusted Gross Income can affect how much they pay for Medicare premiums? You will certainly get an earful from your client when they find out their Medicare premiums are going up. Is there anything you can do about it? This is called the Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA). We will review how IRMAA is computed and what we can do to help our clients manage their IRMAA amount. We will start with a bonus topic of the Social Security Fairness Act which was passed in January, 2025 which may affect some of your clients who can get retroactive Social Security benefits all the way back to 2024.

Tax Planning with Health Savings Accounts
2 IRS CE/2 CTEC/2 NASBA CPE
Health savings accounts can provide triple tax advantages which includes a tax deduction for contributing to an HSA, tax deferred growth of the funds in the HSA, and tax-free distributions when the funds are used for qualified medical expenses. The OBBBA also made some changes to HSAs, but unfortunately not all the proposed changes made it into the final version of OBBBA. Our clients will always have medical expenses in retirement and HSAs are one of the best ways to prepare for these costs. We will review the special once-in-a-lifetime distribution from an IRA to an HSA which would convert the taxable IRA to a tax-free HSA. This is even better than a Roth conversion because there is no tax upon this rollover. *Self-Study recording not available for NASBA CPE credit.
