technical question

[dcfromva]

I have been wondering if there are any tax implications to renting out a person's points. If one figures out the basis for their points and then rents them out for a higher amount, is that taxed as ordinary income or is it some other category?

I just joined DVC this year, so I don't plan on renting my points out anytime soon. But, on this board, I have seen some really clever ways to use points for other things that are non-Disney (such as renting points out and use proceeds for the non-Disney vacation). But then, I was thinking if this would made my taxes more complicated--it might impact my decision.

You'd probably get the best answer from your tax professional, since your personal situation may impact the way it affects your tax return.

In general, there won't likely be a tax implication to rent a few extra points.

Good Luck!
