Can You Write Off Classroom Decorations?
Short answer: Yes: bulletin boards, posters, and decor for your room count as supplies.
K-12 teachers, aides, counselors, coaches, and principals working 900+ school hours a year deduct up to $300 above the line, and from 2026 can itemize more.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose. W-2 employees should ask about employer reimbursement.
