1) Re: 2011 House Bill 4984 (Tax credit for teacher out-of-pocket expenses ) by egorhythmia on April 30, 2012As a teacher (myself) I salute this law because I am not forced to come up with even more ways of making money only to cover my usual expenses. Hope teachers are going to get even more love in the near future !
I agree that this bill should be opened up to parochial and private school teachers. We also spend a lot of our own money to supply our students with adequate materials for learning in the classroom. Please consider adding non-public school educators to this bill.
I am also in agreement that this bill be extended to include private school teachers. They are doing the same thing with their money. Receipts should be required, as with any charity or business write-offs.
