Official Baseball Rules (OBR), under which Major League Baseball is played says: Rule 2.0 "A FORFEITED GAME is a game declared ended by the umpire in chief in favor of the offended team by the score of 9 to 0, for violation of the rules."
So the score is 9 to 0 no matter what the score was at the time the forfeit is declared. There are further rules regarding the official statistics under Rule 10 (The Official Scorer).

It is recorded as 9-0 because there is 9 innings in an MLB game. If the forfeit happens during the game, the winning team will have the runs that they scored up to the forfeit.

The score is 9-0 in all cases, regardless of whether the team winning by forfeit was leading at the time.

9-0 if it is forfeited before the game starts.
If in the middle of a played game, the score at the time stands.
