Weekly Tip

Tax-Deductible Educator Expenses

The educator expense deduction allows eligible teachers and administrators to deduct part of the cost of technology, supplies, and training from their taxes. In this case, an “eligible educator” is a taxpayer who is a kindergarten through grade 12 teacher, instructor, counselor, principal, or aide. They must work at least 900 hours a year at a school that provides elementary or secondary education.

Educators can deduct up to $300 of trade or business expenses not reimbursed by their employer, a grant, or another source. Some examples of covered expenses include:

  • Professional development course fees
  • Books
  • Supplies
  • Computer equipment
  • Other classroom equipment
  • Personal protective equipment (masks, disinfectant, etc.)

This information is not a substitute for individualized tax advice. Please discuss your specific tax issues with a qualified tax professional.
