Teachers can write off up to $300 for classroom supplies, even if they don’t itemize.
Teachers Tax Fact 101: Educators Get Special Tax Breaks
Here’s a must-know tax fact for every educator: Teachers can deduct certain classroom expenses — even if they don’t itemize!
Each year, eligible teachers, instructors, counselors, principals, and aides can claim up to $300 ($600 if married and both spouses are educators) for out-of-pocket classroom supplies. Many teachers pay even more from their own pockets — and don’t claim all they can!
