IRS Transcripts for DV AOS Processing

Hi,

For financial proof I can see IRS transcripts as proof for DV visa processing in DV 2021 / old threads. I've applied for DV 2022 lottery & waiting for results.
I'm curious to know requirement for Tax Filing Status (Married Filing Jointly / Married Filing Separately / Single) in IRS transcripts. I got married in Jan 2019, however while filing tax return for 2019 I filled it as "Single" status as my spouse was not present in USA for more than 183 days, which I'm thinking to correct with amendment.

Below are my questions considering single "Tax Return Transcripts" of 2019, 2020 year will be used as financial proof for me as well as for my spouse:
1] Will tax filing status as "Married Filing Separately" has any negative impact in DV - AOS status processing for married couple ?
2] or Is it recommended to have IRS transcripts with tax filed status as "Married Filing Jointly" ?

Thanks in advance for your help.
 
It’s not important whether it’s MFS or MFJ. What is important is that it correctly reflects you as married. You are/were still married even if your spouse resided outside the US.
