New tax credit for truck drivers

If enacted, this would create a federal income tax credit for people who drive qualifying tractor-trailers. The credit would be $7,500 per year, or $10,000 if you did not drive commercially last year. You would need a Class A CDL and drive a Group A tractor-trailer; apprentices in registered programs could count training hours and would not need the CDL yet. Your adjusted gross income would need to be at or below $135,000 (joint), $112,500 (head of household), or $90,000 (single or married filing separately). Hours rules: returning drivers would need at least 1,900 hours; new drivers could qualify by averaging 40 hours per week, and those under 1,420 hours would get a prorated credit. Amounts would adjust for inflation for tax years starting after 2025; the credit would apply to tax years ending on or after December 31, 2025 and would not apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2026.
