Seems to be jerking around on her w2. Is it that much more beneficial to wait it out for the w2 to file jointly as opposed to filing head of household?

You need the W-2. Filing HOH is not an option if you are married and living together,, nor would it be better for you. Employers had until Jan. 31 to issue 2019 W-2's. Every one of your W-2's must be on your joint return.
