  • Treasury, IRS provide guidance on the new deduction for car loan interest under the One, Big, Beautiful Bill

    IR-2025-129, Dec. 31, 2025

    WASHINGTON — The Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service today provided guidance on the “No Tax on Car Loan Interest” provision enacted under the One, Big, Beautiful Bill.

    The proposed regulations issued today relate to a new deduction for interest paid on vehicle loans incurred after Dec. 31, 2024, to purchase new made-in-America vehicles for personal use. This new tax benefit applies to both taxpayers who take the standard deduction and those who itemize deductions.

    Who can take a deduction for interest on car loans

    To help taxpayers take advantage of this new tax benefit, today’s guidance addresses important eligibility criteria, including:

    • Providing rules relating to new vehicles eligible for the deduction, including for determining if the final assembly of a vehicle occurred in the United States;
    • Providing rules for determining which vehicle loans qualify and the amount of interest paid on a loan that may be deductible;
    • Providing rules for determining if a new vehicle is purchased for personal use; and
    • Identifying taxpayers who can take the deduction and clarifying the $10,000 annual deduction limit.

    What lenders need to know

    The IRS previously announced transition guidance for certain lenders and other taxpayers receiving interest for vehicle loans in 2025. In general, those persons must file information returns with the IRS to report interest received during the tax year and other information related to the loan. These information returns enable taxpayers to claim the benefits of the vehicle loan interest deduction. To help lenders implement these information reporting requirements, the proposed regulations clarify:

    • Which lenders and other interest recipients are required to report and the time and manner for this reporting; and
    • What information must be included on the form provided to the IRS and to taxpayers.

    More information

    Treasury and IRS invite comments from the public on these proposed regulations by Feb. 2, 2026. Comments can be submitted through Regulations.gov and instructions can be found in the proposed regulations.

    For more information, see One, Big, Beautiful Bill provisions on IRS.gov.

  • Court Approves Order Requiring Disney to Pay $10 Million to Settle FTC Allegations the Firm Enabled the Unlawful Collection of Children’s Personal Data

    Court Approves Order Requiring Disney to Pay $10 Million to Settle FTC Allegations the Firm Enabled the Unlawful Collection of Children’s Personal Data

    A federal judge has approved an order requiring Disney to pay $10 million to settle Federal Trade Commission allegations that the company allowed personal data to be collected from children who viewed kid-directed videos on YouTube without notifying parents or obtaining their consent as required by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA Rule).

    A complaint, filed in September by the Department of Justice upon notification and referral from the FTC, alleged that Disney Worldwide Services, Inc. and Disney Entertainment Operations LLC (Disney) violated the COPPA Rule by failing to properly label some videos that it uploaded to YouTube as “Made for Kids” (MFK). The complaint alleged that by mislabeling these videos, Disney allowed for the collection, through YouTube, of personal data from children under 13 who viewed child-directed videos and use of that data for targeted advertising to children.

    Under the settlement order finalized by a federal judge last week, Disney is required to:

    • Pay a $10 million civil penalty for violating the COPPA Rule;
    • Comply with the COPPA Rule, including by notifying parents before collecting personal information from children under 13 and obtaining verifiable parental consent for collection and use of that data; and
    • Establish and implement a program to review whether videos posted to YouTube should be designated as MFK—unless YouTube implements age assurance technologies that can determine the age, age range, or age category of all YouTube users or no longer allows content creators to label videos as MFK. This forward-looking provision reflects and anticipates the growing use of age assurance technologies to protect kids online.
