SEED Act

What this bill does

The bill allows early childhood educators to claim a federal tax deduction for classroom and professional development expenses, similar to K-12 teachers.
Pre-kindergarten teachers, instructors, and aides in early childhood education programs become eligible for this tax benefit.
The deduction is capped at $300 annually (adjusted yearly for inflation) and applies to unreimbursed expenses.
