After you file

Yes, if you filed a tax return with a filing status of "Single", you'll need to amend your income tax return. If you are legally married as of 12/31/2020, your filing status may be one of the following: 

1) Married Filing Jointly,

2) Married Filing Separately,

3) If you qualify, Head of Household.

The IRS does not match your W-4 versus your income tax return. The purpose of the W-4 is to inform your employer of how much income taxes to withhold. If you listed Single on your W-4, all that means your employer will generally withhold more taxes than had you listed Married.
