## Pickup Loan Interest Tax Deduction

Shoppers financing personal-use pickup trucks after 2024 may deduct qualified interest if the vehicle clears US-assembly and personal-use tests.

Estimate with the [pickup loan interest tax calculator](/tools/pickup-loan-interest-tax-calculator).

## US Assembly Check

Use the dealership label, VIN, or [NHTSA VIN decoder](https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/decoder/).

## Example

Interest paid $4,000, MAGI $90,000, 22% bracket → about $4,000 deduction → roughly $880 federal income-tax savings.
