IRS Rolls Out Rules For Deducting Car Loan Interest Under The New Tax Law
The IRS guidance allows deduction on up to $10,000 interest for new U.S.-assembled vehicle loans from 2025 to 2028, benefiting middle-income buyers, officials said.
- This week the Internal Revenue Service issued guidance allowing taxpayers to deduct up to $10,000 in interest on loans for new U.S.-assembled vehicles for tax years 2025 through 2028, affecting the 2026 filing season.
- The provision stems from the One Big Beautiful Bill, which includes the 'No Tax on Car Loan Interest' provision signed into law by President Donald Trump last year, passed by the Republican-controlled Congress.
- To qualify, buyers must verify the VIN using the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Decoder tool and ensure the vehicle weighs under 14,000 pounds, with loans originating after Dec. 31, 2024.
- The IRS is accepting comments through Feb. 2, 2026, and early filers may see delayed refunds while lenders provide 2025 interest data digitally before Form 1098 reporting starts in 2026.
- While the law could nudge purchases toward U.S.-assembled cars, the Joint Committee on Taxation estimates it will cost about $31 billion over fiscal years 2025–2034, benefiting mostly middle-income households.
