Really this is a bit much. Are you a tax examiner working for the IRS? Or some kind of investigator? Or some kind of law enforcement personnel? This is over the top, sir.
None of the above - you made a claim that you can enter this as a teacher expense and I pointed our that you are not correct.
I am simply quoting the IRS regulations as published in IRS Pub 17, page 137 that explains what the qualified educators expenses can be. I would not want you to file a fraudulent tax return and claim a personal expense as a qualified educator expense.
Read it yourself that spells it out in detail as to what and cannot be deducted as educator expenses.
