Probably not.  You would only check that box if you were an inmate or living in a halfway house during the time that you earned the income being reported on the W-2 you just entered.  

 

You do not need to check the box to indicate that you were an inmate at some point during the year.  It only applies if related to that specific W-2 entry.
