AI Summary
This bill establishes a tax deduction for elementary and secondary school teachers in Massachusetts, allowing them to deduct certain unreimbursed expenses for school supplies from their state income tax. Specifically, it amends existing tax law to include an amount described in a federal tax code provision, section 62(a)(2)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code, which pertains to educator expenses, provided these expenses are not already deducted through another provision. This change is intended to provide financial relief to teachers who often spend their own money on classroom materials and will be effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2013.
