Vehicle Loan Interest Deduction

Full Title:
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow a deduction for loan interest payments made with respect to certain vehicles.

Summary#

This bill changes the Internal Revenue Code to let some people deduct interest they pay on loans for certain vehicles. It updates the legal definition of a "qualified passenger vehicle" to include some recreational vehicles, trailers, and campers. The new definition lists vehicle types that qualify and sets a weight limit for motor vehicles.

What it means for you#

If you buy or finance an eligible recreational vehicle, camper, or trailer and the loan was taken out after December 31, 2025, you may be able to deduct the interest you pay on that loan under the section of the tax code the bill changes. The bill applies only to vehicles that meet the bill's specific descriptions (for example, temporary living quarters for recreational use or motor vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating under 14,000 pounds).
