Are You Eligible for Trump's Auto Loan Deduction? Here's Who Qualifies
President Donald Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill,' which he signed on July 4, 2025, included some welcomed relief for eligible new car buyers, who are facing high purchase prices and interest rates. From 2025 to 2028, you may qualify to deduct as much as $10,000 annually in car loan interest on your federal tax return. Read Now: Find Out: A recent IRS fact sheet broke down the key vehicle, taxpayer and loan requirements for this new deduction. Whether you recently bought a vehicle or are looking for one, find out how to qualify and how much your potential tax savings could be. Does Your Vehicle Qualify? This deduction applies only if your new (not used) vehicle meets all of these rules: It was assembled at the final stage at a U.S. plant. Its gross weight is below 14,000 pounds. It has two or more wheels and is suitable for driving on public roads. It doesn't have a salvage title. It's an eligible vehicle type, such as a motorcycle, SUV, car, pickup truck or van. Eligible makes and models vary. As of April 2025, CarEdge listed 117 American-made vehicles from makers such as Chevrolet, Tesla, Nissan, Ford, Volkswagen, Hyundai, Mazda, Jeep, Honda, GMC, Toyota and Volvo. Since the final assembly location is what matters, even international brands can qualify. If you're shopping for a car, you can ask local dealerships, many of which are already advertising the deduction, or you can research U.S.-manufactured options online. The United Auto Workers website also noted that a U.S.-manufactured vehicle will have a vehicle identification number (VIN) that begins with the digit 1, 4 or 5. Discover Next: What Are the Taxpayer Rules? Similar to the student loan interest deduction, the new auto loan interest deduction is available whether you itemize or take the standard deduction, and you can't exceed the modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) limit for your filing status. To get the maximum auto loan interest deduction, your MAGI can't be above $200,000 if you're a joint filer or $100,000 if you use another filing status. According to the bill's text, there's still a partial deduction with a MAGI of up to $250,000 for joint filers and $150,000 for other filers; the reduction is $200 per $1,000 of your MAGI exceeding the base threshold. What Are the Financing Rules? Even if you meet the taxpayer and vehicle rules, you'll need to make sure your loan qualifies. Specifically, you must have taken out your loan after December 31, 2024, and it must be a personal vehicle loan where you used the vehicle as collateral. So, if your family gave you a loan to buy an eligible car or you got an unsecured personal loan from the bank, you can't deduct the interest. The same is true if you took out a loan to buy a vehicle for commercial use, leased the car or financed a vehicle you planned to use for parts. If you financed or leased a business vehicle, you might qualify for a different tax break via a business expense deduction. You can get the details in IRS Publication 463. How Big Could Your Deduction Be? If you're eligible for this deduction, your potential tax savings will depend on your tax bracket, the amount of auto loan interest you paid and your MAGI. Keep in mind that the deduction lowers your taxable income and isn't a credit that directly lowers your tax liability. For example, if you pay the maximum $10,000 in annual auto loan interest, have a MAGI low enough for the full deduction and fall in the 22% tax bracket, you could save $2,200 that year. But the most someone in the 10% tax bracket could save is $1,000. CBS News noted that you'll likely see smaller deductions after the first year due to how banks frontload interest. You may also qualify for extra savings of up to $7,500 if your new vehicle is eligible for the federal EV credit. While the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' cut this tax perk, it remains available for eligible vehicles bought through September 2025. How To Claim the Deduction The IRS has provided few details so far on reporting auto loan interest on your next tax return, but it noted that you will have to provide your vehicle's VIN. You can also expect your auto lender to send a tax document showing the interest paid. The IRS should provide more details closer to tax season.

A 'seismic' 39% tariff on Switzerland is rocking the watch world, and even pre-owned Rolexes could see price hikes
Watch collectors might want to skip the Rolex boutique and head straight for the pawn shop this year. That is, if the Trump administration's new 39% tariff on goods from Switzerland sticks. The White House released updated tariff plans on Thursday, raising the rate from the proposed 31% announced earlier this year. The tariff escalation caught the watch community off guard. Switzerland is a manufacturing hub for luxury watches like Rolex and Cartier. Eugene Tutunikov, CEO of watch marketplace Swiss Watch Expo, told Business Insider the announcement "was a complete shock" and that "its effects will be immediate." Leading brands, including Rolex, have already raised prices in the US this year, likely in response to tariffs, Morgan Stanley analysts wrote in a July report about the Swiss watch market. US imports of Swiss goods have faced a 10% baseline tariff since April. A new 39% tariff on Swiss imports to the US would put more pressure on luxury watchmakers. That could lead to higher prices on Swiss-made goods shipped to the US, or less inventory for American shoppers. While the Swiss government could still try to negotiate, the tariff is currently set to take effect on August 7. Collectors and watchmakers may soon have to reckon with this new reality. Joshua Ganjei, CEO of watch marketplace European Watch Company, thinks more shoppers will turn to pre-owned models of high-end watches like Rolexes over brand-new ones. After all, a secondhand watch from a US-based seller won't face the added cost of a new Swiss-made model shipped from overseas. "For many American collectors, the 39% tariff instantly turned new releases from Swiss brands into a luxury few can justify," Ganjei said. According to the Morgan Stanley report, pre-owned watch dealers have reported an increase in demand this year since Swiss-made brands began raising their prices in the US. Prices in the secondhand market have been falling since mid-2022, though the rate of decline has narrowed. Pre-owned watches could also get more expensive, though. While the inventory already in the US won't face tariffs, heightened demand could drive up prices on the secondary market as well. Tutunikov said he thinks the pre-owned market will react to higher tariffs "much faster" than large retailers and hike prices sooner. He expects prices on the secondary market to jump as much as 10% in the next month and potentially reach up to 35% in the next six months, "as demand overwhelmingly shifts to available inventory." "This isn't just a tax; it's a seismic event that will cause a stark divergence between the new and pre-owned markets," Tutunikov said.
