Teacher travel and field trips
Varies
Can You Write Off Teacher Travel and Field Trips?
Short answer: Out-of-pocket field trip costs you pay for students can count as supplies; your own travel to conferences doesn't fit the $300 deduction.
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.
