What it does
This bill creates a new federal tax deduction. Car owners could subtract fuel costs from taxable income. The deduction covers gasoline, diesel, and electric vehicle charging. It starts for expenses after December 31, 2026. All taxpayers can use it without itemizing deductions.
Who it affects
Car owners would pay less in federal income taxes. The lost tax money must come from higher taxes on others, spending cuts, or more government debt. People who do not drive get no tax break but help pay for it.
One thing to notice
A tax deduction saves more money for people in higher tax brackets. There is no limit on how much any one person can deduct.
