Teachers can deduct more classroom costs
For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, Arkansas doubles the deduction limits for teachers’ classroom investments. The yearly limit rises from $500 to $1,000 per taxpayer. Married couples filing jointly get a $2,000 limit, up from $1,000, only when both spouses are teachers. This deduction reduces taxable income, not the tax bill by the full deduction amount. Other eligibility rules stay the same.
