2026 Nissan Rogue: does it qualify?

It depends on the VIN - NHTSA's MY2026 Part 583 report lists more than one final-assembly country for the 2026 Nissan Rogue (the United States and Japan), so only a US-assembled vehicle qualifies. Check yours by VIN.

Can't tell from the nameplate

Depends on your VIN - this nameplate is assembled in more than one country, so check the individual vehicle.

NHTSA's MY2026 Part 583 report lists more than one final-assembly country for the "Rogue" carline: Japan, United States. Which one applies depends on the individual vehicle.

This is an estimate, not tax advice. It assumes the car is bought new, with a loan taken out after December 31, 2024, used mainly for personal purposes, and that the VIN is reported on Schedule 1-A.

Check your VIN

Your VIN stays in your browser. Nothing is sent to our servers - it goes only to NHTSA's public VIN decoder.

17 characters, found on the driver's side of the windshield or the door jamb. Letters I, O and Q are never used.

Model-year note. The deduction depends on the loan date and the vehicle, not on the model year. A new Rogue bought in 2026 with a 2026 loan still qualifies for 2026, 2027 and 2028 interest, however old the design is.

Why we say that

The interest on a car loan is deductible only if the vehicle was finally assembled in the United States (IRS Fact Sheet FS-2025-03). Our answer for the 2026 Nissan Rogue comes from the manufacturer's own Part 583 (American Automobile Labeling Act) filing to NHTSA, which states the final assembly countries for each carline. The MY2026 report lists the United States, Japan .

NHTSA's filing shows more than one final-assembly country for this carline, so the nameplate alone cannot answer the question. Two identical-looking Nissan Rogues can have different answers. Decode the VIN above, or read the "Final Assembly Point" on the window sticker.

What you must still confirm yourself

  1. New. Your use has to be the first use after it is sold, registered or titled.
  2. The loan. Taken out after December 31, 2024, for the purchase, secured by a first lien.
  3. Personal use. More than 50% of the expected use, personal.
  4. Filing. The VIN must appear on Schedule 1-A, Part IV - otherwise no deduction.

Next steps if your car qualifies

This answer does not settle every test, so confirm the car first, then follow the usual steps.

  1. Confirm the car first. Check the "Final Assembly Point" on the window sticker and the GVWR on the driver's door-jamb label - the car must be assembled in the United States and under 14,000 lb. Where to find both labels →
  2. Estimate your deduction. See how much of your loan interest you can deduct for each tax year from 2025 to 2028. Open the calculator →
  3. Watch for Form 1098-VLI from your lender. Lenders that receive $600 or more of interest from you must send it by January 31 of the next year; if none arrives, ask your lender for the year's interest total. Form 1098-VLI explained →
  4. Keep your records. Keep the VIN, your purchase contract and your loan agreement showing a first lien on the car and a loan date after December 31, 2024. What proves final assembly →
  5. Claim it on Schedule 1-A, Part IV when you file. It works whether or not you itemize, is capped at $10,000 of interest a year, and phases out above $100,000 of MAGI ($200,000 if married filing jointly). Schedule 1-A, line by line →
  6. Thinking of refinancing? A refinance secured by a first lien on the same car keeps the deduction, but only up to the old loan's balance - cash taken out does not qualify. Refinancing rules →

Not tax advice. Based on IRS FS-2025-03, IRS FS-2026-04, Form 1098-VLI, T.D. 10054. Confirm with the IRS instructions or a tax professional.
