HI Isabelle and brain trust,
(I use TurboTax desktop, if it matters)
I am a little late to this discussion. I was prompted to look at my TT20 return as I wanted to see how/if my MAGI was indeed calculated here. I did find the MAGI calcs on Form 8582 Line 7. When I explored the detail I found that our MAGI was lower than AGI by the amount of the taxable SS benefits my spouse received. This does not make any sense, my MAGI should equal my AGI. What gives? or do I ignore TT Form 8582. It would be helpful if MAGI were not so hidden in TT, it is used to calculate the Medicare Surtax (IRMAA).
Any insights would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brent
