Summer is winding down and a new school year is ramping up. Teachers and other educators have been working hard to prepare their classrooms before the new year begins. Qualified educators can deduct up to $300 of unreimbursed expenses on their 2024 tax returns. Married educators who file joint returns can deduct up to $600, but no more than $300 each. Qualified expenses include books, classroom supplies, computer equipment and professional development tuition costs. To qualify for the deduction, a taxpayer must be a teacher or other educator of kindergarten through 12th grade and work at least 900 hours during the school year, in a public or private school.
