California AB834 would allow a tax credit for teachers' classroom expenses.

California AB834 amends the Revenue and Taxation Code to allow a tax credit for teachers' unreimbursed classroom expenses. The bill aims to achieve conformity with federal law and support teachers by deducting costs for classroom supplies, materials, and professional development. The Franchise Tax Board would collect data on the number of taxpayers claiming the deduction, the average amount, and descriptions of expenses to ensure the deduction aligns with federal law, supports teachers, and benefits students. The bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
