Gifts for students
$50-$300
Can You Write Off Gifts for Students?
Short answer: Supplies you give students count as classroom expenses; personal gifts like holiday presents don't.
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.
