Reposition Assets for Lower SS Taxes AND Medicare Premiums?

[Justin Bilyj]

I asked this in the senior forums and didn't get any love. Was just wondering if repositioning cd's, bonds, or dividend paying stocks will bring down your MAGI and lower your extra Medicare premium threshold?
I know FA's and agents do this to lower SS taxable income, wasn't sure if agents took into consideration the Medicare premiums as well.
Appreciate any replies!
