No, a school nurse is not eligible to claim the Educator Expense Deduction. In order to claim the Educator Expense Deduction, the taxpayer must meet the requirements below:
Refer to the TurboTax Help article What is the Educator Expense Deduction? for more information.
Unreimbursed employee expenses that your wife incurred as a school nurse may be deductible as a Miscellaneous Deduction on your state return. (Miscellaneous Deductions are suspended from 2018 - 2025 on federal tax returns). When you enter them, TurboTax will figure out if you can deduct them.
Refer to the TurboTax articles Can employees deduct any job-related expenses? and Video: Tax Deductions for Employment Related Expenses.
