Can You Write Off Car Lease Payments?
Short answer: No, lease payments don't qualify for the new car loan interest deduction.
Business leases can deduct the business-use share.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
