What Can High school coaches Write Off?
Short answer: Coaches who teach and work 900 school hours can use the $300 educator deduction for team supplies; stipend-only coaches can't.
K-12 educators with 900+ school hours deduct up to $300 above the line; from 2026 costs beyond that can be itemized, while other W-2 job costs stay nondeductible.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose for each expense.
