Got married December 28, 2016. Do I need to file as married? If so, should I file married filing separately or jointly?

You were married within 2016 so you qualify as married for that year and can file as married. As far as filing separately or jointly Turbo Tax will show you which one is more beneficial for your situation.

great thank you. one last additional question: would it be an issue if I haven't changed my status in W-4 yet?
