Does financing a new car qualify for any credit or deduction?

I brought my first car in December of 2017. I pay monthly with interest for 5 years. Does it qualify for any credits?

Unfortunately, you cannot deduct the payments or interest on your personal vehicle unless it is used for self-employed business purposes.

No, nothing about financing a normal, personal use car qualifies for any deductions or credits. Sales tax paid can be deducted IF you itemize, and Some electric vehicles May qualify for a tax credit.

K-1 received from a lower tier LLC appropriately reports partner's share of qualified nonrecourse financing liabilities. TTax throws error when added to smart liab wksht.
