If I get ssi and 55 year old disabled male in pinellas county Florida   Homeless can I get a tax refund?  If I file and should I file?

Filing taxes might still be beneficial for you even if you receive SSI and are experiencing homelessness. If you had any income besides SSI during the year (like part-time work), you might qualify for refundable tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit, which could result in a refund. SSI benefits themselves aren't taxable income, so you're not required to file if SSI was your only income. However, filing could still be worthwhile if you had any tax withheld from other income sources. As someone experiencing homelessness in Pinellas County, you can get free tax preparation help through VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) programs. The St. Petersburg Free Clinic and other local organizations offer these services. You don't need a permanent address to file - you can use a shelter address, general delivery at the post office, or even a trusted friend's address. Filing might connect you with benefits you didn't know you qualified for, so it's generally worth checking into, especially when free help is available.
