Question

I just got married (03/20/2020) and I'm entering the process of getting my name changed. How will this affect me filing my return, should I file now or wait?

I have only filed my marriage license with my county, and have not gotten it changed yet with SS or for my driver's license, but plan to as soon as possible.

When you do file your 2019 tax return use the name that is on your current Social Security card even if it is your married name. The name on any W-2's you received for 2019 and the name on the tax return do not have to match, only the Social Security numbers.
