However, if you are above age 62 ½ and collect social security benefits while also working, you may have to pay income tax on your benefits if you have substantial income from wages, self-employment or other taxable income.

You can receive social security retirement benefits and work at the same time. However, if you are younger than full retirement age, as determined by the federal government, and you make more than the yearly earnings limit, the government will reduce your benefit. Full retirement age is 65 or older depending on your date of birth.
The IRS uses the following earnings limits to reduce your benefits: If you are under full retirement age for the entire year, $1 is deducted from your benefit payments for every $2 you earn above the annual limit.
In the year you reach full retirement a, $1 in earnings is deducted for every $3 you earn above the specified annual limit, but only earnings before the month you reach your full retirement age are counted.
Starting with the month you reach full retirement age, you can receive your benefits with no limit on your earnings. The annual limit changes each year. Refer to the Social Security Administration for additional details.
