Deductions & credits
Unfortunately, no, they don't count - it has to be K-12. Pre-K doesn't count. :(
The primary tax break for teachers is the Educator Expense Deduction. To qualify for the Educator Expense Deduction for a given year, you must meet three criteria:
- You worked as a teacher, instructor, counselor, principal or aide for students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
- You worked at least 900 hours at a school certified by a state to provide elementary or secondary education. This applies to public, private and religious schools.
- You spent money on qualified educator expenses.
