Deductions & credits

No, you can not deduct the donation of a timeshare week as a charitable deduction. The IRS has a rule(1) that states, the use of a property, or the permission to use and occupy a property, is not considered a gift of property.

 

A donor cannot continue to enjoy control over donated funds or property contributed; the gift must be irrevocable to qualify for the charitable deduction. 

A contribution of the right to use property is a contribution of less than your entire interest in that property and isn't deductible.
