I'm 65 yo and stopped working 9 years ago, per my current SS statement, I need 4 more work credits to complete the required 40 work credits in order for me get some benefits, like monthly pension, medicare, etc..
My question is, can I file self employment tax and pretend I earned income like $8K last year, I'm willing to pay any taxes I will owe just to complete the 40 work credits.
Thank you.
