For 2025, there is no longer a short-form tax return. You file the standard 1040 Form (the 1040-SR form for seniors with larger fonts).
The OBBBA has introduced a new deduction for car loan interest paid for new cars you bought for personal use between 2025 and 2028.
The deduction is up to $10,000 if your income is under $100,000 (or $200,000 if MFJ). The deduction is gradually phased out for higher incomes.
