Supporting Teachers Through Tax Fairness Act

This bill would change the federal tax code so that up to the first $50,000 of wages earned by K-12 public school teachers, instructors, counselors, and aides would not count as taxable income. To qualify, a person must work at least 900 hours during a school year in a public elementary or secondary school, including charter schools. The limit would rise to $65,000 for those who work in schools where at least 75 percent of students qualify for free or reduced-cost lunch, in rural schools, or in special education or science, technology, engineering, or math. The Treasury would set up a process for schools to verify who qualifies, and the change would apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.
