Auto Loan Interest Deduction

A recent change in tax law means you may be able to deduct the interest paid on your qualifying auto loan—up to $10,000. If you purchased a new vehicle in 2025 or plan to soon, this could be a great way to save when tax season arrives.

  • The loan must be for a new vehicle purchased between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028.
  • Eligible vehicles include cars, SUVs, pickups, minivans, and motorcycles under 14,000 lbs.
  • The vehicle must be assembled in the U.S. and used for personal purposes only.
