Does the Acura TLX qualify for the car loan interest deduction?
The 2025–2028 deduction turns on where a vehicle is finally assembled — not the badge. Here's where the 2025–2026 Acura TLX is built and what it means for your loan interest.

PASS — assembled in the USA
The Acura TLX qualifies on the assembly test. Assembly is one of four gates — you also need a new vehicle, personal use, a 2025–2028 loan, and income under the phase-out.
The short answer
The Acura TLX was assembled at Marysville, Ohio right up until Acura ended production in mid-2025, which makes it a US-built sedan on the assembly test. 2025 was the final model year, so any TLX you buy is either a leftover new car — which can still qualify — or a used one, which cannot.

Confirm the other three tests
A US-assembly PASS is only the first gate. Each remaining condition has its own guide:
New & personal-use — used cars and leases don't qualify→ Loan dated 2025–2028 — refinancing keeps eligibility→ Income under the phase-out — run the MAGI calculator→
Frequently asked questions
Was the Acura TLX built in the USA?
Yes. The TLX was assembled at the Marysville Auto Plant in Marysville, Ohio, alongside the Integra and Honda Accord, so it meets the US final-assembly test.
The TLX was discontinued — can I still deduct the interest?
Only if you buy a leftover TLX new, for personal use, with a qualifying loan. Discontinuation does not disqualify a vehicle; buying it used does.
Does the TLX Type S qualify too?
Yes, on the assembly test — the Type S came off the same Ohio line. Decode the VIN to confirm US assembly on your specific car.
