Will it affect me if I was incarcerated for the past six months

There is nothing to enter on a tax return about being incarcerated unless you lived in a halfway house---which might disqualify you from getting earned income credit. If you have worked and receive a W2 or a 1099NEC then you simply enter the income you received during the tax year on your tax return.
