Support Our Educators Act of 2026

This bill would raise the federal income tax deduction that elementary and secondary school teachers can take for classroom expenses from $250 to $600, with the amount adjusted for inflation starting after 2026. It would also create a new deduction, up to the same limit, for parents who teach their own children at a home school recognized under state law. Home educators could deduct costs for related courses they take and for books, supplies, computer equipment, software, and other materials used where they teach. The changes would apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.
