Ask your Member of Congress to Sign on to the SEED Act

Early childhood educators play a critical role in supporting children’s development and enabling parents to work. To ensure young learners can succeed, many use their own money to buy necessary supplies for their classrooms. Unlike their K-12 counterparts, however, early childhood educators are not able to deduct a portion of these expenses from their taxes. 

The bipartisan Supporting Early-Childhood Educators’ Deductions (SEED) Act would change that, extending the existing federal tax deduction for out-of-pocket classroom expenses to include early childhood educators.
