Also if you look the USCIS N-400 Instructions then you can see the question/answer " When should I use Form N-400" they explain very well your question.

" you may apply for naturalization up to 90 days before you meet the continuous residence" requirement"

If you are still married to your petitioning husband, still live "in harmony" with him, you are good to go since January 24 (January had 31 days, February 28), meaning you are good to go anytime you feel like it.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

If you are still married to the petitioner, you can file for citizenship 3 years minus(-) 90 days from the date you received your Green Card. If you are no longer married to him you'd have to apply after 5 years minus 90 days. Yes, the taxes are very much required. They're actually quite vital :)
