The 1098-VLI is  only an informational document. The numbers on it are not required to be entered onto your tax return.

 

However, it means you paid interest on an auto loan and that is deductible as an itemized deduction.  If you normally use the standard deduction, the VLI form is unlikely to help you and may require you to upgrade in TurboTax.

The info I find on the internet does say it can be deducted even with taking the standard?

 

Yes, you can use Form 1098-VLI to claim a deduction for interest paid on a qualified new-vehicle loan, even if you are taking the standard deduction, because this, (often referred to as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)) allows for a below-the-line deduction. It is designed as a temporary incentive to deduct up to

of interest paid on qualified vehicle loans, independent of itemizing.

This was the case before OBBB. You no longer have to itemize in order to get the deduction.
