Question about tax (12 b) in citizenship application

So in the form it asks if I have submitted taxes in Canada within the last 5 years. I'm sending the application this weekend but I have not filed taxes for 2020 even though I will soon (I need to as I worked full time). Should I just put yes yes (required and filed) anyways? or should I say yes and no since technically at the moment I'll send the application, I haven't filed taxes for 2020?

Most likely when they are actually processing it and checking with the CRA, my taxes for 2020 will be filed (due date is April 30).

You can file your taxes right now before sending in your application. The tax filing period is currently ongoing and period ends April 30.

I suppose this is the solution. I'm filing taxes before applying and avoid risks of delaying the application.
