No. If you got married in 2022 you do not file as married for 2021. For 2021 you were Single---or maybe head of household if you were supporting children or a qualified dependent. For 2022 you can file as married---next year.

Best wishes!

Important thing to remember ... if you are going to change your last name you must do this with SS first and then the DL , bank and other things. If you have not done so yet wait and start the SS process after you file. If you already started the process you will need to wait until you get the new card in hand AND enough time has passed for the new into to get into the IRS system.
