🚘 NEW Federal Tax Benefit: “No Tax on Car Loan Interest” — What It Means for You! 💸
Big change alert for vehicle buyers! Under Section 70203 of the One Big Beautiful Bill (the new tax law), many taxpayers may now be able to deduct interest paid on qualifying car loans — something personal taxpayers haven’t been able to do in decades!
Here’s the scoop: 👇
💡 What’s the benefit?
• For tax years 2025–2028, eligible taxpayers can deduct up to $10,000 of car loan interest per year on their federal tax return.
• This deduction is available whether you itemize deductions or take the standard deduction.
📋 Who might qualify?
To take this deduction, all of the following typically must be true:
✔ The loan was taken after Dec. 31, 2024.
✔ The loan was used to purchase a new passenger vehicle (not a lease).
✔ The vehicle is for personal use (not business).
✔ The vehicle was assembled in the United States.
✔ The vehicle has a gross vehicle weight under 14,000 lbs (covers cars, SUVs, trucks & motorcycles).
📉 Income limits may apply:
There’s a phase-out of the deduction for higher earners — starting around $100,000 MAGI for single filers and $200,000 for joint filers — and it can be completely phased out at higher income levels.
🧾 How you claim it:
When you file your federal tax return, you’ll need to include your vehicle’s VIN and information about the interest you paid. Your lender will likely send you a statement showing your interest paid for the year — similar to a 1098 form.
