I've actually skipped work just to help a homeless guy get his beard trimmed. Bought him pizza too. Kinda hard to get anywhere in life when you look like shit.

Be kind to the homeless, they just need a helping hand here and there.

What would you do?

Homeless does not necessarily mean jobless. You still have to file taxes if you want a tax return. It's a lot cheaper to live out of a car and have a PO box than it is to get an apartment.

Fair enough, I hadn't considered homelessness by choice.

I know homeless people can and sometimes do have jobs, but assumed their income would be insufficient to require interacting with the IRS. Thank you for expanding my perception.
