If you earned over the mim amount you should be fliing, and I know of many people who live in shelters or use addresses of others for filing.
If you are working for cash, I would assume they were paying you somewhat illegaly ( under the table) or were you being paid as a contractor?

Under the table... now what?

Well it is my understanding that you will not get the new government bonus check if you don't file, so you estimate your income, and file.
If you made very little there should be little to no tax due,

He would still owe self employed social security and medicare taxes. No way around that. For instance, if he claimed $3500 in self employed income, he would still owe about $485 or 495 in social security and medicare taxes. BUT he would be eligible for the rebate of $300 this spring.
