A three-part workflow that matches the work
1. Capture in context
Capture workbook, app, marker, printing, and training purchases before they vanish into a teaching bag or app-store history.
2. Review what matters

Check supply runs for mixed personal items, confirm workspace and travel allocations, and review certification or insurance renewals separately.
Tax-time review
The deduction angle to preserve
Educational materials, software, workspace, and professional development are deductible for self-employed educators.
That is the relevant review angle—not an automatic tax result. Business purpose, personal-use allocation, limits, accounting method, and current law can change the treatment. Keep the source evidence and have a qualified professional apply the rules to your facts.
