If your income hit certain thresholds, you could pay hundreds more each month, adding up to thousands annually. Big capital gains, retirement distributions, or a final high-earning year can trigger this charge.

And if your income has dropped since the trigger year, you can appeal to Social Security for a potential adjustment.
