Question

Sally is a high school math teacher. In 2019, she purchases $400 worth of supplies related to her teaching. Her spouse, Gabe, is a high school math teacher and spends $100 in education supplies for his classes. If married filing jointly, what is the 2019 for AGI educator's expenses deduction?

Answer 1

$350

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of AGI educator's expenses deduction is shown below:-

Since both Sally and Gabe are qualified educators, they can subtract up to $250 into business expenses and $500, but not more than $250 each if they are married.

So, Sally can deduct up to $250 from its cost and Gabe can less all of its $100 cost.

AGI educator expenses = Deduction amount from the cost + Expense in education supplies

= $250 + $100

= $350
