Interest / OBBBA cap estimator
This estimates interest paid in a calendar year from an amortization and then applies the IRS $10,000 annual cap. MAGI phaseout is an OBBBA-statute illustration ($200 per $1,000 over the IRS threshold). Plant-country, lease, new-vehicle, and loan-date gates are separate — check the VIN. Not tax advice.
