Other rules you still need to meet
Assembly is only one test. The IRS also requires all of the following.
- Up to $10,000 a year of interest on a qualifying car loan, for tax years 2025 through 2028.
- You get it whether or not you itemize. It sits on Form 1040, Schedule 1-A, Part IV, "No Tax on Car Loan Interest."
- Income limit: the deduction shrinks by $200 for every $1,000 (or part of one) of modified adjusted gross income above $100,000 single or $200,000 married filing jointly. The cut comes off your actual interest, not off the $10,000 cap, so a small loan can hit $0 well before $150,000.
- The vehicle: a car, minivan, van, SUV, pickup, or motorcycle, under 14,000 lb, bought new (you are the first owner), and finally assembled in the United States. Brand does not matter; a Honda from Ohio qualifies and a Ford from Mexico does not.
- The loan: started after December 31, 2024, secured by a first lien on the vehicle, from a lender that is not a relative or a business you own. Personal use only. Leases don't count. Refinancing a qualifying loan generally keeps it qualifying.
- Paperwork: you must enter the VIN on your return. Lenders send Form 1098-VLI if you paid $600 or more in interest.
