 that's really restricted to a one type of group of people or one industry. Okay, and that might be a testament, say, to the teachers unions, although this was put in place a long time ago, so you can see how strong are the current teachers unions based on how much that credit might change with inflation over the years. But in any case, adjustments to income, line 11, you've got the educator expenses. So if you were an eligible educator in 2023, you can deduct online 11 up to $300 of the qualified expenses you paid in 2023. So if you and your spouse are filing jointly and both of you were eligible educators, the maximum deduction is $600. So in other words, if you're a tax preparer, and someone says that they are an educator, then the next question is going to be, of course, are you an educator that qualifies as an eligible educator so that we can possibly take advantage of the $300 deduction that's and above the line deduction, which you might be able to get just based on the industry that you happen to be in as an above the line deduction. However, neither spouse can deduct more than 300 of their qualified expenses online 11. Now, we have this question of what is a qualified expense that we have to take into consideration. But note that the dollar amounts are pretty low like $300. So most people, no matter what job they do, if they're if they're passionate about their job, they might be spending more most likely will be spending more than $300 on stuff that would basically be expenseable, something that you can write off if you had a sole proprietor schedule C type of business. So just a quick recap of the dynamics here between a sole proprietor business and a W2 business. If you had a sole proprietor business, then you have your own business reporting on a schedule C. In that case, you typically have to pay for your own tools and whatnot, your own supplies. And those are going to be deductible the schedule C. Therefore, in essence, an income statement, the expenses on the schedule C basically being business deductions on the schedule C for W2 employees. The assumption is the employer is responsible for providing all the tools that you that you need to facilitate your job. And therefore, the IRS typically doesn't allow normal kind of business expenses that you would expend in order to help you to generate revenue if you're a W2 employee, because of that assumption, the employer should be providing them. But obviously, most of the time, if we're passionate about what we are doing, we're probably buying our own stuff as well. If we think it would be useful and teachers clearly fall into that category, and the $300 limit therefore for an entire year, you would think it's fairly low. I think a lot of teachers probably are going to spend that much money and therefore uneligible items. But of course, you would want to keep track of those spendings to make sure that in the event of an audit, you can justify those expenditures. Although again, you would think that an audit would likely not be triggered by $300. But you never know. I mean, maybe you're one of those radical type of instructors that tried to convince the drag queen to put more than just a thong on before the mandatory drag queen story hour, in which case the IRS may well come after you as well as the FBI. So you want to keep your records straight.
