Newly married, trouble with dummy prior year return

I have used Turbo Tax for many years. I got married in 2025 and my husband and I created a dummy joint 2024 return in TT using the prior year information from both of our returns. Turbo Tax automatically used it to create our 2025 joint return. There is an item on one of the worksheets that shows we filed jointly last year but I can't change it. Is there any danger that the IRS will not like our return because we were both singe and filed that way for 2024? If so, how do I fix this? Please advise. Thanks

That should be no problem. The worksheets don’t go to the IRS.

be sure that for each of you, use the adjusted gross income from your separate 2024 returns. Not the dummy 2024 return which the IRS never got.
