http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p970.pdf
This is an IRS publication. I'm pretty sure it'd be something like I.R.S. Pub. 970 (as amended in 2009)

Date: February 5th, 2010 12:54 AM Author: Cerebral church Yeah, for a note. I've been citing to a related provision in the code, but I actually need to be citing to something that is provided only in a publication. The final version of the note is due tomorrow. This is the last thing I have to do. FWIW, the publication I provided here is not the one I'm using. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1212889&forum_id=2#14020361) |

Date: February 5th, 2010 1:17 AM Author: abusive hominid yeah i don't know the bluebook for it. but you know publications are completely useless? as in, not binding, never should be cited to? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1212889&forum_id=2#14020735) |

Date: February 5th, 2010 1:41 PM Author: Cerebral church Some material is distributed through publications, pursuant to provisions of the code. For example, certain actuarial tables must be used for calculations. The code will refer to the rates provided by the secretary. As a result, the publications comprise the only source for these rates/tables. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1212889&forum_id=2#14024458) |

Date: February 5th, 2010 1:13 AM Author: Cobalt Casino i don't know, man. citing to the IRS when it's not the code, regulations, or rulings is not a good idea. that goes for whether u're an attorney or a law student or whatever. the irony of these publications is that the IRS straight up tells u not to rely on them
if you HAVE to cite to it (as in this isn't a brief/memo/lawreviewnote/etc.), then i'd go with Tax Benefits for Education, I.R.S. Publication 970 (Jan. 25, 2019). |

Date: February 5th, 2010 8:57 PM Author: overrated racy school mother this is just wrong. There are lots of IRS documents that you cite that are not binding and fall outside of your limited categories. e.g. PLRs, Rev. Proc., etc. Most tax work is in areas where there isn't clear, binding law one way or the other, and you need to cite to whatever you can find in order to justify leaning one way or the other, even if you aren't confident enough to say the irs "should" rule that way.

Date: February 5th, 2010 10:48 PM Author: Galvanic candlestick maker IRS Pub. No. 533, Self-Employment Tax (for use in preparing 1985 returns) ("If you are a shareholder in an S corporation, your share of the corporation's taxable income is not self-employment income, even though you include it in your gross income for income tax purposes.")
This citation is from a Ninth Circuit opinion from 1995. I know the citation is sometimes different for law review articles but this seems right |

Date: February 5th, 2010 10:54 PM Author: contagious bright dilemma Look at rules 12.8.1 and 14.5 (of the bluebook).
This is a good question b/c there are special citation forms regarding taxation. My source is from the bluebook online. If you are a member of LR, I highly suggest you sign up online b/c the search feature is amazing.
I am correct here. |
