The IL $250 tax credit will offset costs for Illinois teachers who have been paying out of pocket to make sure their classrooms have the school supplies they need. The new credit is available to Illinois public school teachers, teachers' aides and principals who work at least 900 hours during the school year.
- The $250 credit comes in addition to a $250 federal tax deduction for teachers who have unreimbursed business expenses.
