New IRS deduction for K-12 teachers
The Internal Revenue Service has a new deduction available to eligible educators in both public and private elementary and secondary schools. Taxpayers may subtract up to $250 of qualified expenses when figuring their adjusted gross income. You will not need to itemize deductions to get this benefit.

Details on this and other tax law changes are in IRS Publication 3991, "Highlights of the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002," available on the IRS web site at http://www.irs.gov. You can also call 1-800- TAX-FORM (1-).
