"Yes as long as you have earned income from working and are still breathing you will continue to have to pay your self employment taxes on your net profit from your business operation."

OK, so I will keep paying self employment tax when collecting full benefits ( I am 66).

That is what I figured, but will my monthly SS payment increase since I am still paying into the system? Thanks.

Will dividends and capital gains affect social security payments?

In general, the size of our Social Security retirement checks will depend on your lifetime earnings record and the age that you begin collecting your benefits. If you start collecting payments prior to reaching your Full Retirement Age (FRA) which for the most part is 66 or 67, depending on your year of birth, the amount of any work earnings beyond a certain threshold ($15,480 in 2014) will lead to a reduction in your benefit amount. However, Social Security's definition of earnings counts amounts you earn from working as an employee or net income from your self-employment, but not dividends and/or capital gains from your investments. So in a nutshell, dividends and capital gains do not affect your Social Security payments.
