Who built your car, and where?
Enter your VIN to see the exact assembly plant, and whether your car loan interest can be deducted under the new rule (up to $10,000 a year, 2025–2028).
Your VIN is on the driver-side dashboard (visible through the windshield), the door-jamb sticker, your registration and your insurance card. Lookups go straight to NHTSA's public database; we don't store VINs.
The car loan interest deduction in 30 seconds
Maximum interest you can deduct each year, 2025 through 2028.
Final assembly must happen in the United States. The plant code in your VIN shows where.
Only new vehicles bought with a loan taken out after December 31, 2024. No leases, no used cars.
The deduction phases out above this income ($200,000 for joint filers).
