You couldn't come to a better place for insurance, marketing, SEO and website advice but do NOT get tax advice from any forum.
Call your CPA or call the IRS - it's a free call.
I have been in this exact same situation from both sides. Definitely better to be a statutory employee as you get to write it off plus take your standard deduction.
Even turbotax will help you through this as it is rather common.
