I'm a paraeductator and I've always wondered if I'm eligible to get the Educator Expenses deductible. I have over 900 hours logged working at the school and I have spent my money for the classroom as well. The language on the IRS website isn't super clear so I was wondering if that deductible is only exclusive for teachers.
can ParaEducators get the Education Expense deductibles?

Teachers, counselors, instructors, principals, or aids. Paras are eligible, since they fit into at least 3 of those categories.
So even if a para educator is w2 and 1099 they can deduct these expenses?
