Answer:

Eliza can deduct $250 for AGI and $0 from AGI.

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, a teacher can only deduct classroom expenses up to $250.

The $250 are above the line deductions that lower your adjusted gross income (AGI), while the $0 represents below the line deductions made once your total AGI has been calculated.
