SUMMARY: The IRS reminds Mississippi teachers that the maximum deduction for classroom expenses remains $300 for the new school year. This deduction allows educators to offset personal spending on supplies and materials essential for their classrooms. The cap, unchanged since 2023, benefits teachers, counselors, and principals who work at least 900 hours in licensed facilities. Eligible items include books, equipment, and COVID-19 safety measures. Educators can claim this deduction alongside the standard deduction, with married couples potentially claiming up to $600. It’s crucial for teachers to keep detailed records to support their claims.
