A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow a deduction for loan interest payments made with respect to certain vehicles.

Key Points

• This bill would create a new tax deduction for interest paid on car loans, similar to how homeowners can deduct mortgage interest. It amends the Internal Revenue Code to expand the definition of qualified vehicles for interest deduction purposes.
• The deduction covers a wide range of personal vehicles including cars, minivans, SUVs, pickup trucks, and motorcycles, as long as they weigh less than 14,000 pounds. This weight limit includes nearly all personal vehicles but excludes large commercial trucks.
• Recreational vehicles like trailers, campers, and other vehicles designed for temporary living quarters also qualify for the deduction, whether they are self-propelled or designed to be towed.
• If enacted, the deduction would apply to any vehicle loans taken out after December 31, 2025. People with existing loans before that date would not qualify.
