I "own" 20k+ points with Diamond Resorts International (DRI) that I haven't been able to get rid of so I am donating them thru DFAC. The gentleman that I spoke with was very nice and very upfront about the expenses, and willing to explain things to me. I am not doing this so much for the tax deduction but just to be rid of this expensive albatross that I hate. They quoted me $2495, all of which will be (according to them) tax deductable; however my accountant will be the final word on what is deductable and what isn't and for sure keep me from getting in trouble with the IRS. I will post again as the process continues.
Please report back to us what your accountant says about donating timeshares or points to charities concerning any deductions on your taxes.
