Big Beautiful Bill Car Tax Credit

It takes some of the sting out of financing by making the interest you pay on your car loan tax-deductible. That’s a first for a lot of people, and it can make a real difference when tax season rolls around.

What Does the Big Beautiful Bill Mean?

Think of it this way: when you buy a home, the interest you pay on your mortgage can sometimes be deducted from your taxes. Until now, auto loans didn’t get that kind of break. But with this bill, the interest portion of your car loan payments can count toward your car loan tax return. That means you’re no longer just handing that money over—you can use it to lower your taxable income.

What Qualifies?

Do you get a tax credit for buying a car? Here’s the breakdown.

So, if you’ve been eyeing that new GMC Sierra 1500 or a Buick Enclave, financing through a dealership like ours could put you in line for a valuable deduction.

How to Claim It

Filing for the car loan tax return under the Big Beautiful Bill isn’t complicated. When tax time comes, you’ll report the amount of interest you paid on your auto loan. Most lenders will provide you with an annual statement, similar to the 1098 form used by mortgage lenders. From there, you or your tax preparer can include it with your other deductions.

The process is straightforward, but if you’re working with a tax professional, let them know about your auto loan. They’ll understand the details and ensure you receive every dollar you’re entitled to.

What Vehicles Qualify?

The bill applies to most brand-new passenger cars, trucks, and SUVs. That means everything from a fuel-efficient Buick Envista to a heavy-duty GMC Sierra HD could be eligible. There are no size constraints, except that the vehicle's gross weight must be under 14,000 pounds and it must have final assembly in the United States. That makes this a broad benefit, and one that’s accessible to nearly anyone looking for a new ride.

How Much Can You Save?

This is where it gets exciting. The actual savings depend on your loan amount, interest rate, and tax bracket. For example:

• If you buy a $40,000 vehicle with a loan at 6% interest, that’s about $2,400 in interest in the first year.
• Deducting that $2,400 could lower your taxable income significantly, which may save you hundreds of dollars—sometimes more—depending on your income level.

When you add up several years of payments, the savings could stretch into the thousands. That’s real money back in your hands, money you could put toward road trips, upgrades, or just keeping life a little less stressful.
