Nievinski v. Comr., T.C. Sum. Op. 2011-10

(first-time homebuyer credit not allowed for purchase of home from taxpayer's parents; taxpayer appeared before court pro se; no explanation on Form 5405 that credit not available for home purchased from family member nor in IRS Pub. 4819, but court (mistakenly) ruled that I.R.C. Sec. 36(c) clear on the matter in barring related-party sales; IRS publications have no effect on the Code); no ability to appeal and case of no precedential value).
