COACHES Act

This bill expands the tax deduction available to educators by adding coaches and interscholastic sports administrators to the list of eligible professionals. Previously excluded from the deduction due to specific wording, these roles now qualify under the revised tax code language. The change modifies Section 62 of the Internal Revenue Code to include "interscholastic sports administrator or coach" as part of the deduction for instructional school personnel. It affects school staff directly by allowing them to deduct qualified education expenses on their federal tax returns starting in 2023. The bill does not create new programs but adjusts existing tax rules for eligible educators.
