Your child probably does not qualify as your dependent for 2020. Even though you sent her $200 monthly while she was incarcerated and she lived with you in November and December, that's probably not half of her total support for the year.
To claim your adult daughter (I'm assuming), she would have to make less than $4,300 (yes) and you must generally provide more than half of her total support during the calendar year. The state probably provided more than half her support for ten months (January - October) by providing her with food and lodging, so you could not claim her.
