Actress Jenna Fischer apologized on Wednesday after Twitter users corrected an inaccurate tweet she wrote about the unpopular GOP tax bill over the holidays. “The Office” star originally tweeted on Saturday that the bill would eliminate a tax deduction for school teachers who bought their own supplies. I mean, imagine if nurses had to go buy their own syringes #ugh,” the now-deleted tweet read. An early version of the tax bill that passed in the House of Representatives in November would have eliminated the $250 deduction that reduces taxable income for teachers who purchase classroom supplies with their own money. But the Senate’s version of the bill attempted to double the deduction, and the legislation that passed on Dec. 19 allowed the $250 deduction to remain untouched.
