SHAREHOLDER LETTER

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to bring you  Franklin  Federal  Tax-Free  Income  Fund's  annual
report for the period ended April 30, 1998.

During the year under review, the U.S. economy continued on its path of moderate
growth, modest inflation and relatively stable-to-lower interest rates. Economic
growth was  solid,  as  measured  by the 1998 first  quarter,  annualized  Gross
Domestic  Product (GDP) gain of 4.8%.  The Consumer  Price Index (CPI), a widely
used measure of inflation,  continued to trend  downward.  The CPI's  annualized
increase  for March  1998 was a  surprisingly  low 2.25%,  considering  the U.S.
economy is in its seventh consecutive year of expansion.

After  peaking in the second  quarter of 1997,  interest  rates  declined due to
benign  inflation and the presumption  that the Asian monetary crises would slow
the U.S. economy.  The Asian crises also contributed to a flight to quality into
U.S.  Treasury bonds and U.S. dollar  denominated  assets.  The 30-year Treasury
yield ended the reporting  period at 5.95%,  down from 6.95% on April 30, 1997.1
The yield on the Bond Buyer 40 Index,  a  representative  municipal  bond index,
declined  from 5.89% on April 30, 1997, to 5.39% on April 30, 1998.2 The overall
interest rate decline resulted in a strong year for  fixed-income  securities in
1997, contributing to an increase in the fund's NAV and share price.

The favorable interest rate environment  provided  attractive  opportunities for
issuers to refinance  existing debt or issue new debt.  Municipal  supply in the
first  quarter of 1998 was 70% higher than in the same  period of 1997.  Looking
forward, the recent economic environment should be beneficial for municipalities
and municipal bonds.  Credit rating upgrades  substantially  outpaced downgrades
from national credit rating agencies during the reporting period.

We  encourage   you  to  discuss  your   financial   goals  with  an  investment
representative.  He or she can address  concerns  about  volatility and help you
diversify your investments and stay focused on the long term. Mutual funds offer
a level of diversification that is almost impossible for individual investors to
achieve on their own.  Municipal  bonds continue to be an attractive  investment
for diversifying a heavily weighted stock  portfolio.  As always,  we appreciate
your support,  welcome your questions and comments,  and look forward to serving
your investment needs in the years ahead.

Sincerely,


Charles B. Johnson

Q
&
A

SPECIAL FEATURE:
Q&A WITH FRANKLIN'S
MUNICIPAL BOND DEPARTMENT


Thomas J. Kenny, Director of Franklin Templeton's Municipal Bond Department, and
portfolio  managers  Sheila Amoroso and Bernie  Schroer  discuss the issues that
shaped the recent municipal bond market.

Q: HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET'S RECENT PERFORMANCE?

TOM KENNY:  Long-term  interest  rates trended lower in 1997,  and remained in a
fairly narrow trading range during the early months of 1998. This lower interest
rate environment led to a substantial  increase in the supply of municipal bonds
coming to market, both for new projects and refinancing purposes. Demand has not
kept pace with supply,  which, in our opinion, has created some excellent buying
opportunities.


Q:  RECENTLY,  THERE  HAS  BEEN A LOT  OF  DISCUSSION  ABOUT  THE  ASIAN  MARKET
VOLATILITY.  DO YOU THINK THE  PROBLEMS  THERE  WILL HAVE ANY IMPACT ON THE U.S.
BOND MARKET THIS YEAR?

BERNIE  SCHROER:  The decline in Asia's currency and equity markets may help the
U.S. bond market. In 1997, we experienced a strong U.S. economy,  which normally
would have  pressured  the Federal  Reserve (the Fed) to raise  interest  rates,
causing  bond  prices  to fall.  Instead,  the Fed left  interest  rates  alone,
probably in part due to the Asian turmoil and the dampening effect it could have
on U.S. economic growth this year.

Q: HAVE THE RECENT TAX LAW CHANGES HAD ANY IMPACT ON THE MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET?

SHEILA  AMOROSO:  Changes  in the tax law did not  alter the tax  advantages  of
municipal bonds.  Municipals still distribute  income free from regular federal,
and in many cases, state income taxes.*

Q: WHAT ROLE CAN MUNICIPAL BONDS PLAY IN A DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO?

SHEILA: After three years of healthy returns due to historic stock market gains,
individuals  have  seen an  increase  in the  percentage  of  equities  in their
portfolios.  As a result,  many  investors  are  beginning to  re-examine  asset
allocation.  Municipal  bonds  generally  enjoy low volatility  while  providing
tax-free income, which can offset some of the risks associated with investing in
a  portfolio  composed  mainly of  stocks.  The chart on page 6 shows how adding
municipal bonds in different  proportions to a stock portfolio has  historically
lowered  volatility in providing  solid  after-tax  returns.  In short,  prudent
investors  may be able to reduce their risk,  and maintain  their  potential for
competitive return, by including municipal bonds in their portfolios.


*For investors subject to regular federal or state alternative  minimum tax, all
or a portion of municipal bond interest and municipal bond fund dividends may be
subject to such tax,  depending  on the source.  Fund  distributions  of capital
gains and of ordinary income from accrued market discount, if any, are generally
taxable.

"Franklin tax-free income funds can help investors  diversify a heavily weighted
stock  portfolio,  while providing a convenient and effective way to participate
in the municipal bond market."

BERNIE:  Municipal  bonds remain a strong  investment for investors  looking for
tax-free income.  Franklin tax-free income funds can help investors  diversify a
heavily weighted stock portfolio, while providing a convenient and effective way
to participate in the municipal bond market.

Q: LOOKING  AHEAD,  WHAT DO YOU THINK MIGHT AFFECT THE MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET AND
THE FRANKLIN TAX-FREE INCOME FUNDS?

TOM:  Municipal  bonds  generally  share  the  same  trends  as U.S.  government
securities,  such as Treasury bonds. These securities are sensitive to a variety
of  factors  that  affect  interest  rates in  general,  including  the  Federal
Reserve's  monetary  policy.  During  most of 1997,  the Fed was  biased  toward
raising  interest  rates in order to stave  off  inflationary  pressures  as the
economy continued its solid growth. However, toward the end of the year and into
1998,  the Fed  appears to have  adopted a more  neutral  stance for a couple of
reasons. First, although the economy is experiencing moderate growth,  inflation
remains  subdued.  Also, the potential still exists for the Asian crisis to slow
the U.S. economy.

Regardless  of changing  market  conditions,  our focus will remain on providing
shareholders  with high current income free from regular federal,  and depending
on the fund,  state income  taxes.*  Franklin  has become the  nation's  largest
tax-free  fund  manager**,  in part by  adhering  to a  consistent,  disciplined
investment  philosophy,  which historically has proved successful in both strong
and weak bond markets.  Of course,  past  performance  is no guarantee of future
results.

*For investors subject to regular federal or state alternative  minimum tax, all
or a portion of municipal bond interest and municipal bond fund dividends may be
subject to such tax,  depending  on the source.  Fund  distributions  of capital
gains and of ordinary income from accrued market discount, if any, are generally
taxable.

MANAGER'S DISCUSSION

YOUR FUND'S  OBJECTIVE:  FRANKLIN  FEDERAL TAX-FREE INCOME FUND SEEKS TO PROVIDE
HIGH, CURRENT INCOME EXEMPT FROM REGULAR FEDERAL INCOME TAX THROUGH A NATIONALLY
DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO CONSISTING OF MUNICIPAL SECURITIES.1

When  investing  in the  municipal  market,  we  strive to  purchase  securities
offering long-term value.  Prospects for value in the market are dynamic and can
change daily. In our vigilant search throughout the fund's fiscal year, we found
value in two key areas: insured securities and New York securities.


INSURED SECURITIES

Insured municipal bonds are insured against default by insurance  companies.  An
insurance company pledges to make all interest and principal  payments when due,
if the issuer of the bond  defaults on its  obligations.  Insured  bonds usually
trade  based on the  insurer's  credit  rating  rather  than the  rating  of the
underlying  issuer,  since the  insurance  company is ultimately at risk for the
repayment of principal and interest.  Some of the major municipal bond insurance
firms include MBIA and AMBAC Indemnity Corporation.  Because of their lower risk
and the cost of insurance  protection,  insured  bonds will pay  slightly  lower
yields.  However,  insured  municipal bonds are generally  considered  among the
safest investments, as reflected in their high credit quality rating.

As  individual  state  economies   enjoyed  healthy  growth,   state  and  local
governments  witnessed an increase in their revenues.  Voter  resistance  toward
higher taxes helped restrain  government  spending,  causing  government  fiscal
positions and credit ratings to strengthen.  As credit qualities rose, municipal
bond  insurance  became  relatively  cheap  for  state  and  local  governments.
Furthermore,  increased  competition  among the  municipal  insurance  companies
contributed to lower insurance costs for issuers. Municipal bond insurance tends
to provide the  greatest  marketability  for  issuers,  because it attracts  the
widest  variety of  investors.  Approximately  60% of the  long-term  new issues
during  the past year have come  with  insurance,  continuing  the trend we have
experienced  during  the  past  few  years.2  The  fund's  exposure  to  insured
securities  reflected this trend,  increasing from 17.5% of long-term  assets on
April 30, 1997, to 22.5% at the end of the reporting period.3

The availability of insurance for new issues,  as well as secondary  securities,
contributed  to a narrowing  of quality  spreads in the  municipal  market.  The
sustained,  low  interest-rate  environment  created  greater  demand for higher
yielding,  lower-quality  securities.  As  the  supply  of  these  lower-quality
securities declined,  the demand drove the prices of these securities higher. As
a result, insured securities offered attractive yields relative to other sectors
of the municipal market.

As  illustrated by the chart,  51.2% of the fund's  long-term  investments  were
invested in high-grade bonds at the close of the period.  High-grade bonds rated
AAA or AA by Standard & Poor's,  or Aaa or Aa by Moody's,  two  national  credit
rating  agencies,  generally  are  considered  to  carry  little  credit  risk.4
Increasing our emphasis on high-quality  bonds can help protect the fund against
the  risk  of  issuers  defaulting  on  their  interest  payments  or  principal
repayments.

1. These  dividends  are generally  subject to state and local income taxes,  if
any. For investors  subject to federal or state  alternate  minimum tax, a small
portion of this  income may be  subject  to such tax.  Distributions  of capital
gains and of ordinary income from accrued market discount, if any, are generally
taxable.

You will find a complete  listing of the fund's  portfolio  holdings,  including
dollar value and number of shares or principal  amount,  beginning on page 16 of
this report.

3. Fund  shares are not  insured by any U.S.  or other  government  agency,  are
subject to market risks and will fluctuate in value.  Insurance  relates only to
the payment of principal and interest on the portfolio's  insured securities and
the terms of the insurance as outlined in the prospectus.  No  representation is
made as to any  insurer's  ability  to meet its  commitments.  4.  This does not
indicate Standard & Poor's or Moody's rating of the fund.

Past performance is not predictive of future results.

NEW YORK SECURITIES

We also  found  value  in New  York  securities,  and at the  end of the  fund's
reporting period our exposure was 17.2% of total market value, up from 14.61% on
April 30, 1997.  New York is generally  one of the largest  issuers of municipal
bonds,  and has been the  largest  so far in 1998.  Due to the  large  supply of
securities, the sector was priced attractively in the market.

Both New York City and New York state enjoyed improved financial  positions.  In
August 1997,  Standard and Poor's  upgraded the state's credit rating from A- to
A. New York City was recently  upgraded by Moody's to a3, and is currently rated
A- by Fitch IBCA, and BBB+ by S&P(R).5 These positive factors contributed to New
York  securities  being  one of  the  best  performing  sectors  in  the  market
throughout the year under review.

The chart to the left shows that the fund was  invested  across a broad range of
sectors on April 30, 1998. Also, your fund held investments in all 50 states and
Puerto Rico. The fund had its largest holdings in securities issued in New York,
Illinois and Texas, as illustrated below.

Going forward,  we believe municipal bond supply should moderate during the last
half of the year,  and demand will remain  solid.  Most  importantly,  given the
fund's current  taxable-equivalent  distribution rate, municipals should provide
an attractive investment for fixed-income investors.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

CLASS I

Franklin  Federal Tax-Free Income Fund - Class I share price, as measured by net
asset  value,  increased 35 cents,  from $11.90 on April 30, 1997,  to $12.25 on
April 30, 1998.  During the 12-month  reporting  period,  shareholders  received
income distributions totaling 68.8 cents ($0.6880) per share. Distributions will
vary based on the earnings of the fund's portfolio,  and past  distributions are
not predictive of future trends.

Based on an  annualization  of April's monthly  per-share  dividend of 5.6 cents
($0.056) and the maximum offering price of $12.79 on April 30, 1998, your fund's
distribution  rate was 5.25%.  This tax-free  rate is generally  higher than the
after-tax return on a comparable taxable investment. For example, an investor in
the maximum  federal income tax bracket of 39.6% would need to earn 8.69% from a
taxable investment of similar quality to match the fund's tax-free  distribution
rate.

The chart on page 12 compares your fund's Class I shares'  performance with that
of the unmanaged  Lehman Brothers  Municipal Bond Index. The index includes over
40,000 municipal securities from across the country, while your fund consists of
approximately 930 municipal bonds. Of course, such unmanaged market indices have
inherent  performance  differentials  over any fund.  They do not pay management
fees to cover salaries of securities analysts or portfolio managers, nor do they
pay commissions to buy and sell bonds.  Unlike unmanaged  indices,  mutual funds
are never 100%  invested  because  they need cash on hand to redeem  shares.  In
addition,  the performance shown for the fund includes the maximum initial sales
charge,  all fund  expenses  and account  fees.  If operating  expenses  such as
Franklin  Federal  Tax-Free  Income  Fund's had been applied to this index,  the
index's  performance  would have been lower.  Please  remember  that an index is
simply a measure of performance and one cannot invest in it directly.

Your fund's  Class I shares'  performance  exceeded  the rate of  inflation,  as
measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI),  keeping your purchasing  power well
ahead of inflation -- a primary goal of any investment.

1.  Cumulative  total return  measures the change in value of an investment over
the periods  indicated and does not include the sales charge.  
2. Average annual total return  represents the average annual change in value of
an investment over the periods indicated and includes the current, maximum 4.25%
initial sales charge. See Note below.
3.  Distribution rate is based on an annualization of April's 5.6 cent per share
monthly dividend and the maximum offering price of $12.79 on April 30, 1998.
4.  Taxable  equivalent  distribution  rate and yield  assume  the 1998  maximum
federal income tax rate of 39.6%.
5. Yield,  calculated  as  required by the SEC, is based on the  earnings of the
fund's portfolio for the 30 days ended April 30, 1998.
Note:  Prior to July 1, 1994,  fund shares were offered at a lower initial sales
charge with  dividends  reinvested  at the  offering  price;  thus actual  total
returns  would  differ.  Effective May 1, 1994,  the fund  eliminated  the sales
charge on reinvested  dividends and implemented a Rule 12b-1 plan, which affects
subsequent  performance.  
All total return calculations assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains
at net asset value. Since markets can go down as well as up, investment return
and principal value will fluctuate with market conditions, and you may have a
gain or loss when you sell your shares.

CLASS II

Franklin Federal Tax-Free Income Fund - Class II share price, as measured by net
asset  value,  increased 34 cents,  from $11.90 on April 30, 1997,  to $12.24 on
April 30, 1998.  During the 12-month  reporting  period,  shareholders  received
income  distributions  totaling 61.92 cents  ($0.6192) per share.  Distributions
will vary based on the earnings of the fund's portfolio,  and past distributions
are not predictive of future trends.

Based on an  annualization of April's monthly  per-share  dividend of 5.00 cents
($0.0500),  plus an annual dividend adjustment of 0.12 cents ($0.0012),  and the
maximum  offering  price of $12.36 on April 30, 1998,  your fund's  distribution
rate was 4.86%. This tax-free rate is generally higher than the after-tax return
on a comparable  taxable  investment.  For  example,  an investor in the maximum
federal  income  tax  bracket  of 39.6%  would need to earn 8.05% from a taxable
investment of similar quality to match the fund's tax-free distribution rate.

The chart on page 14 compares your fund's Class II shares' performance with that
of the unmanaged  Lehman Brothers  Municipal Bond Index. The index includes over
40,000 municipal securities from across the country, while your fund consists of
approximately 930 municipal bonds. Of course, such unmanaged market indices have
inherent  performance  differentials  over any fund.  They do not pay management
fees to cover salaries of securities analysts or portfolio managers, nor do they
pay commissions to buy and sell  securities.  Unlike unmanaged  indices,  mutual
funds are never 100% invested  because they need cash on hand to redeem  shares.
In addition,  the  performance  shown for the fund includes the maximum  initial
sales charge,  all fund expenses and account fees. If operating expenses such as
Franklin  Federal  Tax-Free  Income  Fund's had been applied to this index,  the
index's  performance  would have been lower.  Please  remember  that an index is
simply a measure of performance and one cannot invest in it directly.

Your fund's  Class II shares'  performance  exceeded the rate of  inflation,  as
measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI),  keeping your purchasing  power well
ahead of inflation -- a primary goal of any investment.

FRANKLIN FEDERAL TAX-FREE INCOME FUND
Notes to Financial Statements

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Franklin  Federal  Tax-Free  Income  Fund  (the  Fund) is  registered  under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified,  open-end  investment  company.
The Fund seeks to provide tax-free income.  The following  summarizes the Fund's
significant accounting policies.

a. Security Valuation

Tax-free bonds  generally  trade in the  over-the-counter  market and are valued
within the range of the latest quoted bid and asked prices.  In the absence of a
sale or reported bid and asked prices, information with respect to bond and note
transactions,  quotations from bond dealers,  market  transactions in comparable
securities,  and various  relationships between securities are used to determine
the value of the  security.  The Fund may  utilize a  pricing  service,  bank or
broker/dealer  experienced  in  such  matters  to  perform  any of  the  pricing
functions under  procedures  approved by the Board of Directors.  Securities for
which market  quotations  are not readily  available are valued at fair value as
determined by management in accordance with procedures  established by the Board
of Directors.

b. Income Taxes

No  provision  has been made for income  taxes  because the Fund's  policy is to
qualify as a regulated  investment  company under the Internal  Revenue Code and
distribute all of its taxable income.

c. Security Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses
on security  transactions  are  determined on a specific  identification  basis.
Interest  income and  estimated  expenses are accrued  daily.  Bond discount and
premium are amortized on an income tax basis.  Distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment  income,  other than
class specific expenses,  are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon
the relative proportion of net assets of each class.

d. Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial  statements in accordance  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  at the date of the
financial  statements and the amounts of income and expense during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


2. CAPITAL STOCK

The Fund offers two classes of shares: Class I and Class II. The shares have the
same rights  except for their  initial  sales load,  distribution  fees,  voting
rights on matters  affecting a single class and the  exchange  privilege of each
class.

At  April  30,  1998,  there  were  10  billion  shares  of no par  value  stock
authorized,  of which 3 billion  each were  designated  as Class I and Class II.
Transactions in the Fund's shares were as follows:

We have  audited the  accompanying  statement of assets and  liabilities  of the

opinion on these  financial  statements  and financial  highlights  based on our

We  conducted  our  audits  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  and  financial
highlights are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis,  evidence  supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April
30, 1998,  by  correspondence  with the  custodian  and  brokers.  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 audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements and financial  highlights referred to
