More yield,
less taxes

Most of the time,
making money means paying taxes. 
But investors still can 
enjoy income that is generally 
free from federal income taxes 
by taking advantage of 
tax-exempt bonds. 
High Yield Tax-Exempt Fund, 
the largest national municipal 
bond fund, strives to provide 
the maximum amount of largely 
tax-free income by focusing on 
municipal bonds that pay 
above-average interest. To reduce 
the investment risk, the portfolio 
holds a large, widely diversified 
group of bonds. The result can be 
a healthy after-tax return for 
investors in higher tax brackets.

From the president

If you're an experienced investor, you know
that 1995 was an unusually strong year
for the U.S. financial markets. Perhaps just
as important, you also know that history
shows that bull markets don't last forever. 
Though they're often unpredictable, declines 
- - whether they're brief or long-lasting, 
moderate or substantial - are always a 
possibility.

That fact reinforces the need for investors 
to review periodically their long-term goals 
and assess whether their investment program 
remains on track to achieving them. 
Your quarterly investment statements are 
one part of that monitoring process. 
The other is a meeting with your 
American Express financial advisor.
That becomes even more important if there's 
a major change in your financial situation 
or in the financial markets.

From the portfolio manager

The roller-coaster ride the bond market 
has been on in recent years continued 
during the past six months, as the market 
followed up a spectacular 1995 with a sharp 
downturn in the late winter and early spring 
of 1996. Though they held up better than 
some other types of bonds, municipals lost 
value as well, resulting in a negative total 
return for IDS High Yield Tax-Exempt Fund 
during the first half of its fiscal year, 
December 1995 through May 1996.

The period got off to a positive start, 
however, as the decline in long-term interest 
rates that had sparked bonds' remarkable rally 
in 1995 continued through December. 
(As always, falling rates inflate bond prices, 
while rising rates depress them.) 
The bond market managed to sustain its positive 
momentum into January, but by mid-February the 
market's underpinnings of slow economic growth, 
low inflation and hopes for a balanced federal 
budget agreement had begun to crumble.
Psychological shift drives market down

In fact, bond investors' views on the economy 
and inflation were in the process of doing a 
complete flip-flop, going from expectations 
of imminent recession and still lower inflation 
and perhaps even deflation to worries about a 
resurgent economy accompanied by soaring 
inflation. While no evidence of either of 
the latter possibilities was in sight, traders 
began dumping bonds, sending long-term rates 
steadily higher and bond prices steadily lower 
before easing off in April and May.

Because I was relatively optimistic about the 
investment environment, I maintained a 
longer-than-average portfolio maturity going 
into the fiscal year. This strategy, which makes 
a portfolio more sensitive to interest-rate 
changes, paid off very well for the Fund when 
long-term rates fell in 1995 but penalized its 
performance during the rate rise in 1996. 
As the period progressed, I reduced the 
portfolio's maturity to cushion the Fund in 
the event of still-higher rates.

In other Portfolio modifications, I slightly 
increased the exposure to below-investment-grade 
bonds in an effort to shore up the Fund's 
dividend, which declined during 1995 as 
interest rates came down. 
(In many cases, such higher-coupon bonds 
have been "called away" - redeemed ahead of 
their maturity dates - by their issuers over 
the past two years in order to refinance 
their debt at a lower rate.)

Better environment expected

Although still somewhat volatile, at this 
writing (mid-June) the bond market may have 
put its worst woes behind it for this year. 
In fact, assuming my outlook for moderating 
economic growth and little if any pick-up 
in inflation is reasonably accurate, I 
think the odds are good that long-term 
interest rates will be lower by year-end. 
If that proves true, it would allow bonds 
in  general and the Portfolio to make up 
lost ground in the months ahead.

Another big question mark at this point is 
what may come out of the presidential campaign, 
especially regarding taxes. While talk of a 
flat tax has subsided (to the benefit of municipal 
bonds), proposals for substantial tax cuts could 
periodically upset the market. Naturally, 
I will closely monitor the political and economic 
factors and, if warranted, adjust the Portfolio 
accordingly. In the meantime, maintaining an 
attractive tax-free dividend will continue to 
be the primary goal.

IDS High Yield Tax-Exempt Fund, Inc.
(Unaudited as to May 31, 1996)
____________________________________________________________ 
1. Summary of significant accounting policies

The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 
(as amended) as a diversified, open-end management investment 
company. The Fund seeks to provide shareholders with a high 
yield generally exempt from federal income taxes. 
The Fund offers Class A, Class B and Class Y shares. 
Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge. 
Class B shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge 
and such shares automatically convert to Class A after eight years. 
Class Y shares have no sales charge and are offered only to 
qualifying institutional investors.

All classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, 
liquidation and other rights, and the same terms and 
conditions, except that the level of distribution fee, 
transfer agency fee and service fee (class specific expenses) 
differs among classes. Income, expenses (other than class 
specific expenses) and realized and unrealized gains or losses 
on investments are allocated to each class of shares based 
upon its relative net assets.

Investment in Tax-Free High Yield Portfolio

Effective May 13, 1996, the Fund began investing all of its assets 
in the Tax-Free High Yield Portfolio (Portfolio), a series of 
Tax Free Income Trust, an open-end investment company that has 
the same objectives as the Fund. This was accomplished by transferring 
the Fund's assets to the Portfolio in return for a proportionate 
ownership interest in the Portfolio. The percentage of the Portfolio 
owned by the Fund at May 31, 1996 was 99.99%. The Fund records daily 
its share of the Portfolio's income, expenses and realized and 
unrealized gains and losses. The financial statements of the Portfolio 
are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in 
conjunction with the Fund's financial statements.

The Fund records its investment in the Portfolio at value which 
is equal to the Fund's proportionate owership interest in the net 
assets of the Portfolio. Valuation of securities held by the 
Portfolio is discussed in Note 1 of the Portfolio's Notes to 
Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles requires management 
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported  
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial 
statements and the reported amounts of increase and decrease 
in net assets from operations during the period. 
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal taxes

Since the Fund's policy is to comply with all 
sections of the Internal Revenue Code applicable 
to regulated investment companies and to distribute 
all of its taxable income to the shareholders, no 
provision for income or excise taxes is required.

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses) 
allocated from the Portfolio may differ for financial 
statement and tax purposes primarily because of the deferral 
of losses on certain futures contracts, the recognition of 
certain foreign currency gains (losses) as ordinary income
(loss) for tax purposes, and losses deferred due to
"wash sale" transactions. The character of distributions 
made during the year from net investment income or net realized
gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for 
federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of
dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts 
are distributed may differ from the year that the income 
or realized gains (losses) were recorded by the Fund.

Dividends to shareholders

Dividends declared daily and payable monthly, from net 
investment income, are reinvested in additional shares 
of the Fund at net asset value or payable in cash. 
Capital gains, when available, are distributed 
along with the last income dividend of the calendar year.

2.  Expenses and sales charges

In addition to the expenses allocated from the Portfolio, 
the Fund accrues its own expenses as follows:

Effective March 20, 1995, the Fund entered into agreements 
with American Express Financial Corporation (AEFC) for 
providing administrative services and serving as transfer 
agent as follows:  Under its Administrative Services 
Agreement, the Fund pays AEFC for administration and 
accounting services at a percentage of the Fund's average 
daily net assets in reducing percentages from 0.04% to 
0.02% annually. Under this agreement, the Fund also pays 
taxes; audit and certain legal fees; registration fees 
for shares; office expenses; consultant's fees; 
compensation of board members, officers and employees; 
corporate filing fees; organizational expenses; and any 
other expenses properly payable by the Fund approved 
by the board.

Under a separate Transfer Agency Agreement, AEFC 
maintains shareholder accounts and records. 
The Fund pays AEFC an annual fee per shareholder 
account for this service as follows:

o             Class A $15.50
o             Class B $16.50
o             Class Y $15.50
<PAGE>
Also effective March 20, 1995, the Fund entered 
into agreements with American Express Financial 
Advisors Inc. for distribution and shareholder servicing-related 
services as follows:  Under a Plan and Agreement of Distribution,
the Fund pays a distribution fee at an annual rate of 0.75% of 
the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class B 
shares for distribution-related services.

Under a Shareholder Service Agreement, the Fund pays a 
fee for service provided to shareholders by financial 
advisors and other servicing agents. The fee is calculated 
at a rate of 0.175% of the Fund's average daily net
assets attributable to Class A and Class B shares.

AEFC will assume and pay any expenses 
(except taxes and brokerage commissions) 
that exceed the most restrictive applicable state expense limitation.

Sales charges received by American Express Financial Advisors for 
distributing Fund shares were $6,108,241 for Class A and 
$56,334 for Class B for the six months ended May 31, 1996.

Prior to April 30, 1996, the Fund had a retirement plan for its 
independent board members.  The plan was terminated April 30, 1996. 
The retirement plan expense amounted to $12,175 for the six 
months ended May 31, 1996.  The total liability for the plan is 
$235,918, which will be paid out  at some future date.

Notes to financial statements
Tax-Free High Yield Portfolio
(Unaudited as to May 31, 1996)
____________________________________________________________
1. Summary of significant accounting policies

The Tax-Free High Yield Portfolio (Portfolio) is a series of 
Tax Free Income Trust (Trust) and is registered under the 
Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end 
management investment company. Tax Free Income Portfolio seeks 
to provide unitholders with a high yield generally exempt 
from federal income taxes by investing in medium- and 
lower-quality bonds and notes issued by or on behalf of 
state and local governmental units whose interest generally 
is exempt from federal income tax. The Portfolio also may 
invest in derivative instruments and money market instruments. 
The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue 
non-transferable interests in the Portfolio. 
The Portfolio commenced operations on May 13, 1996. 
At this time an existing fund transferred its assets 
to the Portfolio in return for an ownership percentage of 
the Portfolio.

Significant accounting polices followed by the 
Portfolio are summarized below:

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles requires management 
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported 
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements 
and the reported amounts of increase and decrease in net 
assets from operations during the period. Actual results 
could differ from those estimates.

Valuation of securities

All securities are valued at the close of each business day. 
Securities traded on national securities exchanges or included 
in national market systems are valued at the last quoted 
sales price; securities for which market quotations are 
not readily available are valued at fair value according 
to methods selected in good faith by the board. 
Determination of fair value involves, 
among other things, reference to market indexes, 
matrixes and data from independent brokers. 
Short-term securities maturing in more than 60 
days from the valuation date are valued at the 
market price or approximate market value based on 
current interest rates; those maturing in 60 days 
or less are valued at amortized cost.
<PAGE>
Option transactions

In order to produce incremental earnings, protect gains 
and facilitate buying and selling of securities for 
investment purposes, the Portfolio may buy or write 
options traded on any U.S. or foreign exchange or in 
the over-the-counter market where the completion of the 
obligation is dependent upon the credit standing of the 
other party. The Portfolio also may buy and sell put 
and call options and write covered call options on 
portfolio securities and may write cash-secured put 
options. The risk in writing a call option is that the 
Portfolio gives up the opportunity of profit if 
the market price of the security increases. 
The risk in writing a put option is that the 
Portfolio may incur a loss if the market price of 
the security decreases and the option is exercised. 
The risk in buying an option is that the Portfolio 
pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. 
The Portfolio also has the additional risk of not 
being able to enter into a closing transaction if a 
liquid secondary market does not exist.

Option contracts are valued daily at the closing 
prices on their primary exchanges and unrealized 
appreciation or depreciation is recorded. 
The Portfolio will realize a gain or loss upon 
expiration or closing of the option transaction. 
When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales 
for a written call option, the purchase cost for a 
written put option or the cost of a security for a 
purchased put or call option is adjusted by the 
amount of premium received or paid.

Futures transactions

In order to gain exposure to or protect itself 
from changes in the market, the Portfolio may buy 
and sell stock index futures contracts traded on 
any U.S. or foreign exchange. 
The Portfolio also may buy or write put and call 
options on these futures contracts. 
Risks of entering into futures contracts and related 
options include the possibility that there may be 
an illiquid market and that a change in the value of 
the contract or option may not correlate with 
changes in the value of the underlying securities.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio 
is required to deposit either cash or securities in an 
amount (initial margin) equal to a certain percentage of 
the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin)
are made or received by the Portfolio each day. 
The variation margin payments are equal to the daily 
changes in the contract value and are recorded as 
unrealized gains and losses. The Portfolio recognizes 
a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed 
or expires.

Federal taxes
 
For federal income tax purposes the Portfolio qualifies 
as a partnership and each investor in the Portfolio is 
treated as the owner of its proportionate share of the 
net assets, income, expenses and realized and unrealized 
gains and losses of the Portfolio. Accordingly, as 
a "pass-through" entity, the Portfolio does not pay 
any income dividends or capital gain distributions.
<PAGE>
Other

Security transactions are accounted for on the date 
securities are purchased or sold. Interest income, 
including level-yield amortization of premium and discount, 
is accrued daily.

_______________________________________________________________________
2. Fees and expenses

The Trust, on behalf of the Portfolio, has entered into an 
Investment Management Services Agreement with American 
Express Financial Corporation (AEFC) for managing its 
portfolio. Under this agreement, AEFC determines which securities 
will be purchased, held or sold. 
The management fee is a percentage of the Portfolio's average 
daily net assets in reducing percentages from 0.49% to 0.36% annually.

Under the agreement, the Trust also pays taxes and nonadvisory 
expenses, which include custodian fees to be paid to an 
affiliate of AEFC; audit and certain legal fees; fidelity 
bond premiums; registration fees for units; Portfolio office 
expenses; consultants' fees; compensation of trustees; 
corporate filing fees; and any other expenses properly 
payable by the Trust or Portfolio, approved by the board.

For the period from May 13, 1996 to May 31, 1996, 
the Portfolio's custodian fees were reduced by 
$3,284 as a result of earnings credits from 
overnight cash balances.

Pursuant to a Placement Agency Agreement, American 
Express Financial Advisors Inc. acts as placement 
agent of the units of the Trust.

____________________________________________________________________
3. Securities transactions

Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities 
(other than short-term obligations) aggregated $40,619,570 
and $58,871,412, respectively, for the period from May 13, 1996 
to May 31, 1996. For the same period, the portfolio turnover 
rate was 14%. Realized gains and losses are determined on an 
identified cost basis.

___________________________________________________________________
4.  Interest rate futures contracts

At May 31, 1996, investments in securities included securities 
valued at $38,083,319 that were pledged as collateral to cover 
initial margin deposits on 745 purchase  and 100 sale contracts.
The market value of the open contracts at May 31, 1996 was 
$91,312,813 with a net unrealized loss of $1,904,531.
The Portfolio maintains, in a segregated account with 
its custodian, securities with at least a market value 
equal to the value of these open long futures contracts.

6.Capital loss carryover

For federal income tax purposes, the Fund has a capital loss carryover 
of $16,716,000 at May 31, 1996, that if  not offset by subsequent 
capital gains, will expire in 2004. It is unlikely the board will 
authorize a distribution of any realized gains until the available 
capital loss carryover has been offset or expires.
