You are confusing two different concepts.
Pensions and other unearned income does not give you social security credit (does not go on your social security record to determine your benefit.). Only compensation from work goes on your social security history to build credit for your benefit.
That is completely separate from the calculation of how much of your benefit is taxable. That calculation does include all your income, including pensions.
