house 01/07/2025 - 119th Congress
We're working to provide greater financial support to teachers by increasing the above-the-line tax deduction for their out-of-pocket classroom expenses from $250 to $1000, while also ensuring these deductions adjust with inflation. This initiative aims to better acknowledge and alleviate the personal expenses educators often incur in providing quality education.
