I changed my name last year in May to my married last name. It's correct on all the W2s & forms to show the correct name. Should I be mindful of anything else?

I changed my name while I was between jobs so I have one W2 from the beginning of the year with my maiden name and another W2 from the rest of the year with my married name.

The IRS matches what is on file with the Social Security Office. Did you change your name with them? That's what matters, not what is on your W2's.
