More yield, less taxes
Most of the time, making money means paying taxes. But investors
still can enjoy income that generally is free from federal taxes by
taking advantage of tax-exempt bonds. High Yield Tax-Exempt Fund
strives to provide the maximum amount of tax-free income by
focusing on municipal bonds that pay above-average interest.
However, certain income may be subject to state or local or the
alternative minimum tax. To reduce the investment risk, the Fund
holds a large, widely diversified portfolio of bonds providing
protection to shareholders seeking to avoid the impact of default
by an individual bond. The result may be a superior after-tax
return for investors in higher tax brackets.

From the president
If you're an experienced investor, you know that the past two years
have been unusual strong ones in many worldwide financial markets.
Perhaps just as important, you also know that history shows that
bull markets don't last forever. Though they are often
unpredictable, declines - whether they are brief or long-lasting,
moderate or substantial - are always a possibility.
That fact reinforces the need for investors to periodically review
their long-term goals and examine 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 is a major change in your financial
situation or in the financial markets.
On May 13, 1996, the Fund began investing its assets in Tax-Free
High Yield Portfolio instead of directly in Securities of
Individual Companies. Following the Portfolio Manager's letter are
the financial statements of both the Fund and Portfolio. The notes
to financial statements go into more detail of how the new
structure works.
/s/ W.R. Pearce
William R. Pearce
From the portfolio manager
IDS High Yield Tax-Exempt Fund continued to provide a yield above
the inflation rate during the past fiscal year, although it did
incur a modest decline in net asset value. For the 12 months
(December 1995 through November 1996), the Fund's total return,
which includes the change in net asset value plus monthly
dividends, was 4% for investors in Class A shares.
The period got off to a positive start, as the decline in long-term
interest rates that had sparked bonds' remarkable rally in 1995
continued through December. (As always, falling interest 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,
hopes for a balanced federal budget agreement and, ultimately,
ongoing low inflation began to crumble. As a result, long-term
interest rose, sending bond prices sharply lower through March.
Fortunately, the inflation fears later proved to be unfounded,
which allowed the bond market to rebound from September through
November.

PAGE 6
A change to a more conservative course
Because I was relatively optimistic about the investment
environment, I emphasized a longer-than-average maturity on the
securities int he portfolio going into the fiscal year. This
strategy, which makes a portfolio more sensitive to interest-rate
changes, paid off very well for the Portfolio when long-term rates
fell in 1995 but penalized its performance during the rate rise in
1996. As the period progressed, I reduced the average maturity to
cushion the Portfolio in the event of still-higher rates.
Therefore, the Portfolio's recovery was somewhat muted when rates
came back down in the fall. In other Portfolio modifications, I
moderately increased the Portfolio's exposure to below-investment-
grade bonds in an effort to maintain the Fund's dividend.
Also affecting Fund performance was a higher-than-average number of
holdings whose issuers experienced payment problems. While they
constituted a very small amount of all the securities owned (about
half of one percent), losses from those securities did slightly
reduce the net asset value. There was essentially no effect on the
dividend, however.
Long-term outlook remains positive
Although I expect short-term volatility to continue in the bond
market, I think the longer-term prospects are still good given the
likelihood that inflation, and, thus, long-term interest rates will
not experience a substantial and sustained increase. Looking at
municipal bonds in particular, the lack of political talk about tax
reform now that the national elections are over has largely removed
a cloud from over the market, which should be a benefit. Based on
that outlook, unless a powerful market trend emerges, I plan to
continue the basically neutral structure of the Portfolio as it
relates to potential interest-rate fluctuations.

Making the most of your Fund
Build your assets systematically
One of the best ways to invest in the Fund is by dollar-cost
averaging -- a time-tested strategy that can make market
fluctuations work for you. To dollar-cost average, simply invest a
fixed amount of money regularly. You'll automatically buy more
shares when the Fund's share price is low, fewer shares when it is
high.
This does not ensure a profit or avoid a loss if the market
declines. But, if you can continue to invest regularly through
changing market conditions, it can be an effective way to
accumulate shares to meet your long-term goals.
How dollar-cost averaging works
Month Amount Per-share Number of shares purchased
invested market price
Jan $100 $20 5.00
Feb 100 18 5.56
Mar 100 17 5.88
Apr 100 15 6.67
May 100 16 6.25
June 100 18 5.56
July 100 17 5.88
Aug 100 19 5.26
Sept 100 21 4.76
Oct 100 20 5.00
(footnotes to table) By investing an equal number of dollars each
month...
(arrow in table pointing to April) you automatically buy more
shares when the per share market price is low.
(arrow in table pointing to September) and fewer shares when the
per share market price is high.
You have paid an average price of only $17.91 per share over the 10
months, while the average market price actually was $18.10.

Your Fund's long-term performance
Three ways to benefit from a mutual Fund:
o your shares increase in value when the Fund's investments do
well
o you receive capital gains when the gains on investments sold
by the Fund exceed losses
o you receive income when the Fund's stock dividends, interest
and short-term gains exceed its expenses.
All three make up your total return. And you potentially can
increase your investment if, like most investors, you reinvest your
dividends and capital gain distributions to buy additional shares
of the Fund or another Fund.

Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is made up of a representative
list of general obligation, revenue, insured and prefunded bonds.
The index is frequently used a s ageneral measure of tax-exempt
bond market performance. However, the securities used to create
the index may not be representative of the bonds held in High Yield
Tax-Exempt Fund.

On the graph above you can see how the Fund's total return compared
to a widely cited performance measure, the Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond Index. In comparing High Yield Tax-Exempt Fund
(Class A) with this index, you should take into account the fact
that the Fund's performance reflects the maximum sales charge of
5%, while such charges are not reflected int he performance of the
index. Class B and Class Y are not shown. The performance of
Class B and Class Y will vary from the performance of Class A based
on differences in sales charges and fees. If you were actually to
buy either individual bonds or bond mutual funds, any sales charge
that you pay would reduce your total return as well.
Your investment and return values fluctuate so that your shares,
when redeemed, may be worht more or less than the original cost.
This was a period of widely fluctuating security prices. Past
performance is no guarantee of future results.

Notes to financial statements
IDS High Yield Tax-Exempt Fund, Inc.
__________________________________________________________________
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 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 (the 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 Portfolio
invests primarily 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 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 that is equal to the
Fund's proportionate ownership interest in the net assets of the Portfolio. The
percentage of the Portfolio owned by the Fund at Nov. 30, 1996 was 99.99%.
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 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.
On the statement of assets and liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax
differences, undistributed net investment income has been increased by $99,734
and accumulated net realized loss has been increased by $102,993 resulting in a
net reclassification adjustment to increase paid-in capital by $3,199.
Dividends to shareholders
Dividends from net investment income, declared daily and payable monthly, 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. 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
Also effective March 20, 1995, the Fund entered into agreements with American
Express Financial Advisors Inc. for distribution and shareholder
servicing-related services. 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.
Sales charges received by American Express Financial Advisors for distributing
Fund shares were $10,482,956 for Class A and $148,677 for Class B for the year
ended Nov. 30, 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 period. The total liability for the plan is
$134,719, which will be paid out at some future date.

4. Pre-conversion to Master
Prior to transferring its securities to Tax-Free High Yield Portfolio on May 13,
1996, various transactions took place as stated below.
Expenses and sales charges
Prior to the conversion on May 13, 1996, the Fund paid an investment management
fee to AEFC. Subsequent to the conversion, the investment management fee is
assessed at the Portfolio level. (See the notes to the Portfolio financial
statements for the terms of the investment management agreement, which remain
unchanged.)
During the period from Dec. 1, 1995 to May 12, 1996, the Fund's custodian fees
and transfer agency fees were reduced by $39,782 as a result of earnings credits
from overnight cash balances.
<PAGE>
Securities transactions
Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities (other than short-term
obligations) aggregated $324,620,446 and $448,144,326 respectively, for the
period from Dec. 1, 1995 to May 12, 1996. Realized gains and losses were
determined on an identified cost basis.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Capital loss carryover
For federal income tax purposes, the Fund has a capital loss carryover of
$39,549,943 at Nov.30, 1996 that will expire in 2002 if not offset by subsequent
capital gains. It is unlikely the board will authorize a distribution of any net
realized capital gains until the available capital loss carryover has been
offset or expires.

Independent auditors' report
The board of trustees and unitholders Tax Free Income Trust:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments in securities, of Tax-Free High Yield Portfolio (a
series of Tax Free Income Trust) as of November 30, 1996, and the related
statements of operations and changes in net assets for the period from May 13,
1996 (commencement of operations) to November 30, 1996. These financial
statements are the responsibility of Portfolio management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Investment securities
held in custody are confirmed to us by the custodian. As to securities purchased
and sold but not received or delivered, we request confirmations from brokers,
and where replies are not received, we carry out other appropriate auditing
procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Tax-Free High Yield Portfolio
at November 30, 1996, and the results of its operations, changes in its net
assets for the period stated in the first paragraph above, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Tax-Free High Yield Portfolio
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary of significant accounting policies
The Tax-Free High Yield Portfolio (the Portfolio) is a series of Tax Free Income
Trust (the Trust) and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as
amended) as a diversified, open-end management investment company. Tax-Free High
Yield Portfolio invests primarily 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. On
April 15, 1996, AEFC contributed $100,000 to the Portfolio. Operations did not
formally commence until May 13, 1996, at which 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 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.
Option transactions
In order to produce incremental earnings, protect gains and facilitate buying
and selling of securities for investment purposes, the Portfolio 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. The Portfolio may write over-the-counter options where
the completion of the obligation is dependent upon the credit standing of the
other party.
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 options on debt securities or futures are exercised, the
Portfolio will realize a gain or loss. When other options are 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 interest rate 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.
Securities purchased on a when-issued basis
Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Portfolio on
a forward-commitment or when-issued basis can take place one month or more after
the transaction date. During this period, such securities are subject to market
fluctuations, and they may affect the Portfolio's gross assets the same as owned
securities. The Portfolio designates cash or liquid high-grade short-term debt
securities at least equal to the amount of its commitment. As of Nov. 30, 1996,
the Portfolio had entered into outstanding when-issued or forward commitments of
$2,274,953.
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.
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; 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 Nov. 30, 1996, the Portfolio's custodian
fees were reduced by $29,538 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 $247,148,742 and $286,072,683, respectively, for the
period from May 13, 1996 to Nov. 30, 1996. For the same period, the portfolio
turnover rate was 4%. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified
cost basis.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Interest rate futures contracts
At Nov. 30, 1996, investments in securities included securities valued at
$11,868,500 that were pledged as collateral to cover initial margin deposits on
3,500 sale contracts. The arket value of the open sale contracts at Nov. 30,
1996 was $406,765,625 with a net unrealized loss of $30,217,435. See Summary of
significant accounting policies.
