Do you meet the qualifications for the deduction?

Teachers may be eligible for the Educator Expense Deduction if they meet certain criteria. You have to:

Work as a teacher, instructor, counselor, principal or classroom aide
Work with students in kindergarten through grade 12
Complete at least 900 hours of work during the school year
Be employed by a school that provides elementary or secondary education as determined by state law

This TurboTax Help states:

individuals working at pre-schools, homeschooling their own children, or who are employed by a college or graduate school would not qualify for this deduction.

You may also try deleting the form and re-enter the information. Select Tax Tools / Tools / Delete a form down the left side of the screen.
