A temporary deduction may apply to interest on qualifying loans for new personal-use vehicles with final assembly in the United States. Used vehicles and lease payments do not qualify.
The deduction concerns interest, not the purchase price or total payment. Loan timing, vehicle details, income phaseouts, and documentation matter. Do not assume every American-brand vehicle meets the assembly requirement.
Your next steps
- Keep the loan agreement and interest statement.
- Record the vehicle identification number.
- Verify final assembly and other IRS requirements.
