I’m 72 years old with 20 years of military service. I am retired collecting Social Security, my military pension, and State retirement benefits. According to my SSA statement, over my working lifetime I paid $14,302 into Medicare, but I never used that medical plan. I only bring in $33,000 in annual income. Can I get those Medicare taxes back somehow? I’ve run into dead ends at SSA, Medicare and IRS websites. Signed: Veteran Seeking Answers Dear Veteran Seeking Answers: First, I want to thank you for your military service to our country.
