As far as I am aware, no driver outside California (which is, contrary to popular belief, not the entire US) has been ruled an employee.

And even the cases in CA are not going to be settled for a couple years.

Also, the IRS is nationwide. Uber has a high hill to climb with them regarding contractor status.
