If your dad has been incorrectly filing as Head of Household he probably has been paying too much tax if your stepmom doesn’t make much. He could even potentially get a refund for the last 3 years. So it may be a collective win for your family. Either way it probably needs to be corrected. I don’t think there is any way to avoid the issue, and it is not certain that it works against you and not in your favor.

I agree. If your stepmother earns little enough, MFJ is favorable. How was she filing in prior years?
