Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The problem is we are married on the 8th of February 2022. Not in 2021. I filed my tax last week jointly.
Since you did not get married until 2022, the joint tax return that you filed for 2021 is not valid. As of December 31, 2021 you were not married, so you cannot file jointly for 2021. You must amend the joint return that you filed, changing it to a return for one of you, with a filing status of Single. The other person must file a new 2021 tax return as single. And you must file the amended return and the new single return by April 18. After April 18 it becomes a much bigger deal to correct your mistake, and you would need professional help.
(It's possible that one or both of you qualifies to file as head of household for 2021, but you have not given enough information to determine that.)
