As xmasbaby0 mentions above, you would enter your car loan interest when inputting your Federal return  information under "Deductions & Credits" and then "Cars and Other things you own" and then "Car Loan interest."

 

You can deduct up to $10,000 of interest paid on loans for new vehicles that you bought between 2025 and 2028.

 

You will be able to deduct the entire $10,000 if your income is under $100,000 (or $200,000 if Married Filing Jointly). 

 

The deduction is available even if you don't itemize your deductions.

 

To qualify for this car loan interest deduction, the following requirements must be met:

  • The vehicle must be a new car, minivan, van, SUV, pickup truck, or motorcycle with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of less than 14,000 pounds
  • The vehicle must be assembled in the U.S.
  • The vehicle must be driven mostly for personal reasons
  • The vehicle must be built primarily for use on public streets, roads, and highways
