Independent Contractors

I am an Independent Contractor and face a few things this year.

1. I moved from Utah to NM in Sept. Would this negatively affect me?

2. I had significant medical expenses that took all my savings. Can this be deducted, or will it help me?

3. I missed 20 days of work due to my son and myself having COVID at the beginning of the year.  Will this help me at all?
