Teachers Pay Teachers resources

$20-$300/yr

Can You Write Off Teachers Pay Teachers Resources?

Short answer: Yes: lesson plans and printables you buy for class are deductible educator expenses.

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.
