I am currently a flight instructor so most days i teach students how to fly. If iI bought items to teach/instruct are those able to be deducted as teaching expenses?

W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal return.. Job-related expenses were eliminated as a deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond. Your state tax laws might be different.

If you are an independent contractor then your expenses go on your Schedule C.
