Applied for PR as single status and officially entered common law later during that year. Filing for taxes as common law. Will I face any issues?

I applied for PR in October of 2022 and got officially became PR in January 2023 (got my COPR 2nd week of January). At the time that I applied for PR I had just moved in with my now husband and we officially became common-law in September of 2023.

We just got married this year and are intending of filing for our 2023 taxes together as common law. Since tax year is from January-December, I'm wondering if this might cause any confusion or issues later on if I apply for citizenship? Would IRCC question anything or would I need to clarify that I only became common-law later on in 2023 and not since the beginning of January of 2023?

No , not an issue. You were single that time and was not any common law relationship.
