The USA CAR Act would allow individual taxpayers to deduct interest paid on car loans as an "above-the-line" deduction on their federal income taxes, meaning they could claim it without itemizing deductions. The deduction would apply only to loans taken out after January 1, 2025, for automobiles manufactured and finally assembled in the United States. This change amends the Internal Revenue Code, which currently does not allow deductions for personal vehicle loan interest. The bill would take effect upon enactment and would benefit car buyers by reducing their taxable income and potentially lowering their tax bills. No specific funding is allocated, as this is a tax deduction rather than a spending program.
