Personal Finance (Not Investing) • An unintended visit from "Aunt IRMAA"?

$

Hi friends, I think we may have unintentionally exceeded our goals for 2023 mAGI as shown below :oops: (did not want to exceed standard IRMAA limits).

Can I put money into my tIRA to reduce my mAGI at this point in time ? If not is there anything else I can do ?
I was introduced to Aunt IRMAA in Dec 2023 when I received my Jan 2024 Medicare statement. My monthly premium had increased by almost $100. I did some research and discovered our additional income in 2022 (our RV purchase just got more expensive :D ) and triggered IRMAA for me.

And guess what, the Lexus we bought in 2023 is resulting in a potential additional year of IRMAA premiums if threshold is $210,000 (our current AGI is $210,167).

Another option to tIRA contribution might be an HSA contribution. I believe I can contribute to our HSA prior to 4/15/24 and reduce 2023 AGI on a dollar-for-dollar basis (family HSA max contribution is $8,300 in 2024).

Anyone dispute or support this option?
You can’t make any HSA contributions when you have medicare
I should have been more forthcoming in my MFJ scenario. My wife has an HSA and is not on Medicare (she is 59 years old).
...."Your spouse being on Medicare does not disqualify you from continuing contributions to the HSA up to the family limit.."
