Can You Write Off Gifts Teachers Receive?

Short answer: Gifts from parents are generally not taxable to the teacher.

Cash from the school or PTA as a bonus is taxable wages.

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.
