Why am I getting a warning about living common law before marriage? We filled last year as common law and were married in August 2017. I said yes and now it's a warning?

Why am I getting a warning about living common law before marriage? We filled last year as common law and were married in August 2017. I said yes and now it's a warning?

You will need to return to the beginning- making sure you said YES to the question- was there a change in your marital status in 2017. Then enter the date of the change - in your case the date you got married.
