The AGI educator's expenses deduction allows eligible educators to deduct up to $250 each for expenses related to books, supplies, equipment, and other materials used in the classroom. However, this deduction is subject to certain income limits and other restrictions.

In this case, Sally and Gabe are both educators, but they are filing jointly. As a result, they can only claim one $250 deduction for their combined expenses. Therefore, their total deductible amount is $350 (Sally's $400 + Gabe's $100 - $250).
