# §418.1250. What evidence will you need to support your request that we use a more recent tax year?


When you request that we use a more recent tax year to determine your income-related monthly adjustment amount, we will ask for evidence of the major life-changing event and how the event significantly reduced your modified adjusted gross income as described in §§ [418.1255](/cfr/20/418.1255.md) and [418.1265](/cfr/20/418.1265.md). Unless we have information in our records that raises a doubt about the evidence, additional evidence documenting the major life-changing event(s) will not be needed.
