I purchased needed supplies for the class. I paid for the supplies myself because it exceeded the school budget for my class

Yes. You may qualify for a maximum of $250 deduction if you have paid for any unreimbursed expenses from teaching.

To get to the deduction for teacher expenses in TurboTax online program:

Sign in to your account and select Pick up where you left off
Select tab Federal Taxes / Deductions and Credits
Scroll down to Employment Expenses- Teacher (Educator) Expenses, select Start
On-screen, Teacher Expenses, select Yes to continue
