Don't Forget About That Tax Deduction

Thanks to intensive lobbying by the NEA, there's good news on the tax front. Congress has extended the $250 tax deduction for out-of-pocket classroom expenses incurred by teachers and paraprofessionals for the 2004 and 2005 tax years. Under the "Working Families Tax Relief Act," public and private school educators who work 900 hours during a school year as a teacher, instructor, counselor, principal, or aide are eligible. For more information, call 899-829-447 and select "Topic 458" or visit http://www.irs.gov and use the search engine to find "Tax Topic 458."
