I'm wondering if there's anything I need to do once receiving my green card...

I've uodated: SSN, Driving licence, Bank account,healthcare.gov(to perm resident status)

I started work on EAD I'm wonding if I need to update it at work too? They said not to worry because you're fine, but I'm thinking taxes...

Also, have I missed anything?

As long as you gave them your SSN when you started working you don't have to worry about paying your taxes.

Start saving a few things toward your Removal of Conditions coming up in two years. They will want evidence of joint things dating from now to,when you file. So don't throw away expiring things like joint auto insurance proofs, or perhaps a bill in both names so you will have some of the older dated evidence when the time comes.

They should absolutely be updating your I-9 and have a copy of your green card - you now have a document from List A (check the I-9 form)

I would insist that they update your record and take a copy (yes, I work with HR).

Done that a while ago, but thanks for the suggestion. My main concern currently is whether or not we should file jointly vs separately. We are due to see a tax expert next week. Due to complicated financial circumstances.
