That's a good point. Would you suggest (at least in an ambiguous case) filing the SS-8 and waiting for the IRS ruling, and filing the tax return as an independent contractor unless the ruling came back prior to the filing deadline? Then amending your return if you received a subsequent favorable ruling?
That's always the safest way to go. You can always get a refund of an overpayment and you would avoid any penalty or interest.
