Answer 1

The 2017 for-agi educator's expenses deduction for the both of them is $350

Step-by-step explanation:

If you’re eligible, this tax break allows you to deduct up to $250 in eligible unreimbursed classroom expenses from your gross income. If you’re married filing jointly, and both you and your spouse as eligible educators, you can deduct up to $500 total (but not more than $250 each).
