New $10,000 Car Loan Tax Deduction Is Here — Do You Qualify?
Despite the elimination of the federal tax credit for electric vehicles, car buyers still get some tax relief. President Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Bill includes a provision that allows car buyers to deduct up to $10,000 in 'qualified passenger vehicle loan interest,' defined as interest paid or accrued during the taxable year after Dec. 31, 2024, and before Jan. 1, 2029. Read Next: Check Out: Do you qualify? Here's what you need to know. What Is the Car Loan Tax Deduction? According to the IRS, car buyers may deduct interest paid on a loan used to purchase a qualified vehicle for 2025 through 2028. To qualify, the interest must be paid on a loan that is: Originated after December 31, 2024 Used to purchase a new vehicle, not used For personal use, not business or commercial Secured by a lien on the vehicle. The deduction is available to taxpayers who both itemize and take the standard deduction. If the vehicle is later refinanced, interest paid on the refinanced amount will generally still be eligible for the deduction, the IRS noted. There are income limits as well. The full deduction amount can be claimed only by single taxpayers with a modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) of $100,000 or less, or married couples filing jointly with a MAGI of $200,000 or less. For those above these thresholds, the amount reduces by $200 for every $1,000 in income above these levels, according to CNN. Be Aware: Which Vehicles Qualify? Not every vehicle qualifies for the deduction. Based on IRS guidelines, a qualified vehicle is a car, minivan, van, SUV, pickup truck or motorcycle. The gross vehicle weight must be under 14,000 pounds, and the car must have undergone final assembly in the U.S. Used cars and auto leases do not qualify. How Much Can It Save You on Taxes? How much you can save depends on the size of your car loan and whether you fall within the income thresholds for the tax break. Most car buyers can save hundreds of dollars per year on their tax bill, CBS News reported. Edmunds noted that while the $10,000 write-off might sound like a lot, most buyers do not pay that much in annual auto loan interest. To use the full deduction in the first year of ownership, Edmunds explained that a buyer would need to take out an auto loan of around $112,000 — more than double the average purchase price of a new vehicle, which is around $43,000 in 2025.

Hybrid Creators Are Changing The Game—Is Your Brand Ready?
Scott Sutton is CEO of Later, a leading social media marketing platform, guiding its strategy and operations to help brands grow online. The creator economy has matured beyond recognition. Ten years ago, when brands first ventured into influencer marketing, the rules were simple: Creators drove awareness; affiliates drove sales. These were separate channels with separate budgets and distinct KPIs. That division is now obsolete. We're in an era where creators are both amplifiers and drivers of real, measurable business outcomes—like sales, signups and trials. The hybrid creator has emerged as both a brand-builder and growth engine: a force in modern marketing who blends authentic, believable storytelling with commercial intent. For marketers, this unlocks a rare opportunity—the ability to drive both short-term revenue and long-term brand value through a single channel. The Creator Channel, Reinvented It's transforming how forward-thinking brands approach campaigns, budgets and metrics. Creator content now reaches the right audience, resonates with authenticity and drives action—all within a single campaign or activation. These campaigns are successful—and sustainable—because they're supported by the right technology: shoppable storefronts, performance attribution, affiliate integrations and more. What's changed isn't creator capability alone—it's consumer behavior. Audiences today are wholly comfortable buying from creators. They're engaging across multiple platforms and media types and purchasing based on creator recommendations—often shortening the buying cycle in the process. The distinction between 'inspiration' and 'intention to buy' has blurred, especially among Gen-Z and Millennial audiences. Measure What Matters Making the most of this opportunity starts with measuring what matters. Historically, creator campaigns were measured with surface-level engagement metrics: impressions, views, likes. But as creators now generate both brand awareness and direct revenue, the bar is higher. The most effective programs are the ones that can track performance across the entire funnel—from engagement and link clicks to actual purchases and return on ad spend. That's where hybrid creators thrive. One mid-sized creator with just over 200,000 followers recently drove $600,000 in attributed revenue for a brand—alongside millions of impressions. That kind of full-funnel impact used to require separate campaigns with separate budgets. Hybrid creators collapse that divide. Still, many brands approach creators with outdated playbooks, using them to 'fill gaps' in the funnel instead of treating them as holistic growth drivers. It's like fitness. You could spend hours in the gym without a plan—overtraining and under-recovering, wondering why nothing is working. Or you could follow a structured, science-backed program with clear goals. The brands succeeding with creators are doing the latter. They're not guessing. They're training with purpose—and making every repetition compound. Building Smarter Creator Programs To avoid common pitfalls, brands need access to performance data and predictive insights to identify the right creators, structure campaigns for impact and measure ROI in real time in a noisy, deeply saturated landscape. Because here's the truth: Traditional digital channels are getting more expensive and less effective. Static ads don't break through. Creator content does—but only if you know how to leverage it across the entire customer journey, from awareness through purchase. Managing a creator program today isn't like tinkering on a car in your garage. It's more like maintaining a modern electric vehicle or hybrid: tech-driven and powered by sophisticated systems. You don't fix a performance car with a wrench—you work with experts who understand the machine. Success demands the right tools and the right experts, not guesswork and duct tape. Creators As A Core Growth Engine The brands that succeed with hybrid creators are the ones treating them as a core lever for growth. They're uniting creative, brand and performance teams. They're aligning awareness and conversion goals. They're building programs based on how modern consumers discover and buy. Hybrid creators aren't a trend. They're the model for what's next. Brands that continue to treat creators as either awareness drivers or last-touch affiliates will miss the most significant marketing evolution of the decade: the rise of the hybrid creator as the centerpiece of modern consumer engagement.
