No problem with SS. Adsense is a minor part of my income. I run a consulting business as main occup. Also, I'm due for retirement soon so I want to get this established before I back off on the consulting biz.

By the way. I called IRS again and said I provide google with space on my website to display ads under google's control. Google sends me a check every month for a portion of the money they make. Answer is: sure, that is passive income.

note that you can't have much in the way of w-2 wages when you attempt to collect social security!
