No timeshare sold at loss, including the $4K in fees paid is not deductible.

Unfortunately, timeshares are considered personal property, like your house or car.  When you have a loss from the sale of personal property, that loss doesn’t come off your taxes whether your sell immediately or after using them for a number of years.
