2023 was my first year of full (12-months) of retirement as a public school teacher. I receive a pension and social security benefits. However, I also have a side gig as a part-time online teacher for a private company. In January I purchased my own computer. Where do I enter this expense. . . as a 'Teacher Educator' Expense or as a 'Job-Related Expense?

If you are classified as an employee, you can't deduct the cost(s) of your work computer as job related expenses.
If you're a teacher, instructor, counselor, aide, or principal that works at least 900 hours in a school that provides K–12 education, you can deduct up to $300 in unreimbursed expenses for books, supplies, and equipment used in the classroom.
If you are considered independent contractor, you will report your Income and expenses on Schedule C.
I am an independent contractor so I will enter on Schedule C.
Thank you!
