School counselors tax write-offs

Varies

What Can School counselors Write Off?

Short answer: School counselors count as eligible educators for the $300 deduction (more if itemizing from 2026); licensure costs aren't otherwise deductible.

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.
