The adjusted gross income (AGI) educator expense deduction is an amount which teachers and other education professionals are allowed to deduct for out-of-pocket expenses they incurred.

The only educators who are eligible to make this deduction are those that in a school that provides elementary or high education. Educators who provide homeschooling, or teach in pre-school settings, or in undergraduate or graduate school environments are not eligible for this deduction.

The maximum relevant tax deduction allowed per each eligible educator is $250, and the deduction is a reimbursement of qualified expenses such as technology or software that used in teaching students, books and other materials used in the classroom.

From the question, Sally can only deduct a maximum of $250 as provided by law not the total of $400 she spent. Gabe is however eligible to deduct the total of $100 he spent. It should be noted Sally and Gabe are treated as individual teacher in the face of the law despite that they filling jointly.

Given this information, 2019 AGI educator's expenses deduction for the couple is $250 for Sally plus $100 for Gabe which is equal to $350.

I wish you the best.
