I would point out that by filing Married Filing Separately, if one of the couple has substantially higher income, only the higher income spouse might be hit with increased Medicare part B and D premiums while the lower income spouse stays with no penalties. This could save the couple substantially. Might be worth paying a little more income taxes up front.
