No.   The sale of a timeshare is reported on Schedule DYou will treat this as the sale of a capital asset. (However, Losses from the sale of a personal use timeshare are deemed to be personal losses and are not deductible)  

 

To report the sale:

  1. Select Federal from the list on the left-hand side of the screen.
  2. Select the Income & Expense tab at the top of the screen.
  3. Scroll down to the Investment Income and click Show More and then click on Stocks, Cryptocurrency, . . . 
  4. Click Start 
  5. Answer the questions.   
  • The acquisition date is the date you purchased the timeshare.
  • The Sale Date is the date you deeded back to the Timeshare managing company.
  • The proceeds would be $2,000 less the $250.
  • The cost would be $11,000.

This does create a loss.   A loss on the Timeshare is not reported on the return.  If there is a gain, the gain is reported on your return.
