If your friend and his wife are high earners, they could be subject to IRMA, if they are going to use Medicare. There may be some advantages to being "single" if they earn roughly the same amount.. The IRMA "tax" is taken out of your social security payment. Obviously a good tax accountant could look at all the angles, not just SS by itself
