Re: Has anyone ever donated a timeshare for a tax write-off? (by Henny P.):
Charities are much more fussy than they have ever been about what they take for donations. This includes timeshares, if they accept them at all. Your write-off may be limited to the market value rather than cost of the timeshare and the IRS may require some proof. Best bet is to ask a professional tax accountant about these things.
