You don't need to notify any Immigration authorities about the marriage. But when you apply for an immigration benefit of which there are forms that ask for spousal or marriage information, you would provide the requested information on the forms.

You cannot notify an entity that no longer exists, i.e. INS!
Once you become a US citizen and depending on what route you take for your wife's GC process, different agencies will need to be contacted. Quote:

Marriage is not a federal issue, it is not even a state one most of the time. Marriage is usually a city/county issue, and that too when they are issuing you a licence/certificate. You are not required to notify any federal agency/department.

You don't need to notify any Federal agency about the marriage except within the context of a legal process that requires marriage information. So yes, that would include filing taxes ... but you only tell IRS that you are married on the tax return itself, you don't notify them separately about it.
The citizenship paperwork asks for marriage information, so you'd provide that information when you fill out the form. If you get married after filing the application and before the interview, you'd let the interviewer know about it so they can update the form.

... and her H1 process is not impacted by her marrige to you either. if she was in some other mon-immig status (like TN for instance) which prevented dual intent there might be small risk (note: might be) of being suspected of immig intent and possible denial of entry or renewal of status.
But there is absolutely no risk of this with H1. Do be wary that her H1 clock will run out at some point .. or that she could lose her job. She could not stay in US without another status.
