Made‑in‑America Auto‑Loan Interest Deduction at a Glance

Under the BBB’s new Made-in-America Auto-Loan Interest Deduction, financing a brand-new Volkswagen which was final assembled in the United States (look for a VIN starting with 1, 4 or 5 and confirm on the window sticker) lets you deduct up to $10,000 of the interest you pay each year on that loan for purchases made between 2025 and 2028.

The break is “above the line,” so even standard-deduction filers can use it, but it phases out once your AGI tops $100k as a single filer or $200k as a married filer. To claim, all you need to do is keep the purchase contract and lender interest statements, and claim the amount on the forthcoming IRS form for “qualified passenger-vehicle loan interest” when you file.

On a typical $40k loan at roughly 8% APR, that’s roughly $600 in federal tax savings if you’re in the 20% bracket—every year you remain under the cap. In short: choose a U.S-built model, finance smart, and keep hundreds in your pocket instead of handing it to the IRS.

  • What you get: Deduct up to $10,000 in auto‑loan interest per year (2025‑2028 purchases).
  • Who qualifies: Buyers of new, personal‑use vehicles whose final assembly is in the United States.
  • Income caps: Benefit begins phasing out above $100k (single) / $200k (joint).
  • No itemizing required: It’s an above‑the‑line adjustment—standard‑deduction filers welcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I claim the interest deduction?+

Keep your loan interest records and the purchase contract. When you file your 2025–28 tax return, enter the deductible amount on the designated IRS line (guidance pending). You do not need to itemize.

Does this work with the EV tax credit?+

The '24 Volkswagen ID.4 is eligible for the $7,500 tax credit, but the '25 Volkswagen ID.4 is not. No other 2025 Volkswagen models are eligble for the $7,500 EV tax credit at this time.

What if I refinance later?+

The deduction applies to interest paid on qualifying loans originated 2025‑28. If you refinance, only interest on the original qualifying loan counts—TBD pending IRS clarification.
