Hi. If your earnings don't exceed Social Security's earnings test exempt amount then it won't matter whether your income comes to you directly or through a small corporation. Any earned income that you have, which is any combination of gross wages and net earnings from self-employment, would count toward the Social Security earnings test exempt amount. The exempt amount in 2021 is $18,960, but the 2022 exempt amount won't be announced until later this year (https://www.ssa.gov/benefits/retirement/planner/whileworking.html).
