With that said, we recommend verifying the vehicle’s VIN and consulting your tax professional to confirm eligibility.

Checking if Your Vehicle Qualifies 

• Confirm the vehicle is new (used and certified pre-owned vehicles do not qualify).
• Check the VIN, which can be found on the driver’s doorjamb label, insurance card, or vehicle registration.

• Ensure the VIN starts with a 1, 4, 5, or 7. This means the vehicle was assembled in the United States.

• Confirm the loan type. Make sure it’s a standard secured auto loan from a qualified lender (leases do not qualify).

Bonus Tip: If you're unsure, you can double-check using the NHTSA VIN decoder to verify details.
