Donating Timeshare Through Timeshare Broker Services

No longer using your timeshare? Donate it to a worthy cause. There are many benefits available to individuals who donate timeshare online through our brokerage division:

• There is no cost to you. When you donate a timeshare to charity through our partnership with USO San Diego there are no fees or commissions, and once the transfer is complete you no longer have to pay maintenance fees.
• The donation process takes less time. We process requests as quickly as possible, and the closing/transfer process for a timeshare donation to charity is normally much faster than for regular sales.
• Tax benefits. Depending on where you live and where your resort is located, owners who donate timeshares can claim the fair market value of their timeshare. This timeshare donation tax deduction may require an appraisal to verify the fair market value of your property.

For owners who are no longer using their vacation properties, donating timeshares to a deserving cause like USO San Diego is a great alterative to continuing to pay maintenance fees.

Donating Timeshares - Frequently Asked Questions

How do I claim the tax deduction for my timeshare donation to charity?
Once the ownership has been transferred to USO San Diego, you will receive a receipt verifying your donation. Please note that your receipt may not include the value of your timeshare property. The deductible contribution amount that you claim on your taxes should not exceed the fair market value of the timeshare on the date you donated it. If you are claiming the fair market value of your donation at greater than $500 you will need to fill out a separate form to submit with your tax return; if you are claiming the fair market value of your time share donation at greater than $5,000, you will also need a written appraisal that meets IRS guidelines. We urge anyone who plans on claiming a tax deduction through donating timeshare to charity to thoroughly research all legal and tax-related ramifications.

What is the fair market value of my timeshare property?
The fair market value of a timeshare charity donation is NOT the same as what the developer or resort is charging for the same week or ownership. Fair market value when you are donating a timeshare to charity is what you could have sold your property for on the resale market at the date of your donation.

I still owe money on my timeshare, can I donate my timeshare to charity?
Unfortunately, no. If you still owe a large amount on your property, your best bet is to try and sell your timeshare to recoup as much money as possible, then make a separate donation to USO San Diego or an equally deserving charity.

Is it better to work with timeshare donation companies or through a licensed broker to donate your timeshare?
Many "timeshare relief" companies claim to be the most knowledgeable when it comes to donating a timeshare to charity. But if any relief or donation company claims you will receive compensation when you donate time share OR charges you a fee to process your time share donation to charity - step back and do your research. There are many timeshare donation scams out there, which is why working with a licensed real estate agent like the professionals at Timeshare Broker Services is often the wisest choice.
