[The Medicare issue is a little more complicated for high income folks lately, but using Medicare earnings should be 'close enough'.]<br /><br />Tax returns can also be a bit problematic in some cases. For example, unrealized capital gains aren't captured on tax returns. Another example may be if one is already collecting Social Security as different amounts may fall to your AGI.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07012320439010984534noreply@blogger.com
