The eligibility rules, income phase-outs, and refinancing criteria for claiming the deduction.
Other tax changes in the legislation that may impact Avery Dennison employees, including expanded deductions and fresh incentives.

Avery Dennison employees financing a car in 2025 or later could benefit from tax savings due to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). The legislation allows anyone purchasing qualified vehicles between 2025 and 2028 to deduct up to $10,000 in auto loan interest as an above-the-line deduction.

Although the deduction brings meaningful advantages for buyers, not all loans, vehicles, or borrowers will qualify because of strict eligibility requirements.

Key Features of the Auto Loan Interest Deduction

- Deduction limit for loan interest is $10,000 per year.
- Vehicle’s final assembly must occur in the United States.
- Applies to personal-use vehicles under 14,000 pounds—including cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, minivans, and motorcycles.
- Income phase-outs: Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) over $200,000 for joint filers or $100,000 for singles.
- Refinances may be eligible if the original loan met all criteria.
- Excluded leases: Some commercial vehicles, fleet purchases, salvage vehicles, and auto leases do not qualify.

How Many Vehicles Qualify?

According to American Financial Services Association (AFSA) data, approximately 60% of new vehicles sold in the U.S. in the first half of 2025—roughly 10 million out of 16.3 million—were assembled domestically. ¹ Actual eligibility will vary depending on assembly location and trim levels. Buyers should check the Monroney sticker or U.S.-assembled vehicle databases for verification.

Potential Savings for Avery Dennison Employees

While the deduction limit is $10,000, most borrowers are likely to save just a few hundred dollars annually. For instance, with a $41,926 auto loan over 72 months at a 7.2% APR, total interest is about $9,800—or around $1,630 per year. At an 18% marginal tax rate, that equals approximately $290 in yearly tax relief.

Refinancing Rules

According to the IRS, refinanced loans are generally eligible if the original purchase qualified under the program’s requirements. ²

How to Claim the Deduction

For tax year 2025, the IRS will provide detailed instructions. Taxpayers must include their vehicle identification number (VIN) on their return. Lenders are required to file information returns under IRC § 6050AA.

How does the transition of the Avery Dennison U.S. Pension Plan to a group annuity contract affect current employees who are nearing retirement, and what steps should they consider taking during this transition to ensure their benefits are secure from Avery Dennison?

Current Employees Nearing Retirement: The transition to a group annuity contract should not affect the accrued benefits of current employees nearing retirement. The terms of the annuity payments will match those provided by the previous pension plan. Employees should ensure their personal information is updated and consult with the Avery Dennison Retirement Center to understand the timing of their benefits commencement during the transition period.

In what ways does Avery Dennison support employees who are considering their options for retirement benefits, particularly those who may not have previously explored their pension plan details prior to the transition to an insurer?

Support for Employees Exploring Retirement Options: Avery Dennison assists employees by providing detailed information through their retirement center and online resources. Employees are encouraged to review the changes and implications of the annuity transition and contact the retirement center for personalized advice, particularly if they have not previously explored their pension plan details.

Can you elaborate on the implications of the group annuity contract for employees who have recently retired from Avery Dennison, particularly concerning how their benefits are administered compared to the previous pension plan structure?

Recently Retired Employees: For those who have recently retired, the administration of their benefits will shift from Avery Dennison to the selected insurer but this should not change the amount, timing, or form of the benefits they receive. This ensures continuity in the administration of benefits without affecting the retirees directly.

For employees currently receiving benefits through Avery Dennison, how will the transition to the selected insurer impact the continuity and reliability of their monthly payments, and what measures are in place to safeguard these payments?

Continuity and Reliability of Payments: The transition involves the selection of a highly rated insurer, ensuring the reliability of ongoing monthly payments. Avery Dennison has put measures in place, including a thorough selection process involving an independent fiduciary, to safeguard these payments.

What are the specific protections offered to beneficiaries under the group annuity contracts once the Pension Plan transitions away from Avery Dennison's administration, and how do these protections differ from those provided under the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC)?

Protections for Beneficiaries: After the transition, the state guaranty associations, rather than the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), will offer protection to beneficiaries. This shift means that while the federal insurance via PBGC will no longer apply, state-level insurance, which has its own limits and guarantees, will take over.

In light of the transition to the group annuity, how should employees at Avery Dennison go about updating their personal information, such as addresses or banking details, and what timelines should they be aware of during this process?

Updating Personal Information: Employees should update their personal details such as addresses or banking information through the Avery Dennison Retirement Center by specific deadlines during the transition period. Post-transition, such updates should be made directly with the new insurer.

How does Avery Dennison ensure that the financial health of the selected insurer for the group annuity contract is sufficient to meet the obligations to its retirees, and what standards are applied during the selection process?

Financial Health of the Insurer: Avery Dennison ensures the financial adequacy of the selected insurer through a rigorous selection process managed by an independent fiduciary. This includes evaluations of the insurer's financial stability, claims-paying ability, and overall business practices.

After the transition to an insurer is complete, what should employees of Avery Dennison do if they have questions regarding their retirement benefits, and how will communication be handled moving forward to ensure clarity and support?

Post-Transition Communication: After the transition, employees should direct their questions regarding retirement benefits to the selected insurer's service center. Avery Dennison will provide contact details and further instructions in a welcome kit following the transition.

How does the U.S. tax legislation impacts the retirement benefits of Avery Dennison employees who are transitioning to a group annuity, particularly concerning taxation of these annuity payments during retirement?

Impact of U.S. Tax Legislation: The transition to a group annuity may affect the taxation of retirement benefits. Employees are advised to consult with tax professionals to understand the specific impacts based on their personal circumstances.

For employees seeking more information regarding the details of their retirement benefits and the implications of the insurer transition, how can they contact Avery Dennison to discuss their specific circumstances and gain clarity on any outstanding questions?

Accessing Further Information: Employees seeking more details about their retirement benefits post-transition can contact Avery Dennison through their designated Retirement Center or access information via the company's dedicated benefits website. This is crucial for obtaining clarity on specific circumstances and outstanding queries regarding the transition.

With the current political climate we are in it is important to keep up with current news and remain knowledgeable about your benefits.

Avery Dennison announced a major restructuring plan that includes layoffs affecting approximately 10% of its global workforce. The company is also revising its pension and 401(k) plans to better align with current economic conditions.
