                  (SUPPLEMENT OFFERING BCTC IV SERIES 29 AND 
                 IDENTIFYING CERTAIN ANTICIPATED INVESTMENTS) 
This Supplement is part of, and should be read in conjunction with, the 
Prospectus of the Fund. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined have 
the meanings ascribed to them in the Prospectus. This Supplement No. 5 
supersedes all previous supplements to the Prospectus. 


Status of BCTC IV Series 28 
The Fund received orders for a total of 4,000,000 BACs ($39,999,000) with 
respect to Series 28, and issued the last of such Series 28 BACs on January 
31, 1997. The aggregate fees paid as of January 31, 1997 to the General 
Partner and Affiliates with respect to Series 28 were $4,719,882. No 
additional BACs will be offered with respect to Series 28. The Fund has 
issued a total of 27,313,852 BACs, raised $273,114,000 and admitted 16,590 
Investors with respect to Series 20 through 28. (See "Prior Performance of 
the General Partner and its Affiliates" in the Prospectus.) 



Offering of BCTC IV Series 29 
The Fund is offering, effective February 10, 1997, the tenth series of BACs 
("Series 29") consisting of 4,000,000 BACs, with a minimum required 
investment of five hundred BACs at $10 per BAC ($5,000) per Investor, on the 
terms and conditions as are set forth in the Prospectus. No BACs in Series 29 
will be issued unless at least 250,000 BACs in such series are sold. The 
offering of BACs in Series 29 will not exceed 12 months. 


   THE PURCHASE OF BACS IN SERIES 29 WILL NOT ENTITLE THE INVESTOR TO ANY 
INTEREST IN ANY OTHER SERIES OF THE FUND NOR ANY INTEREST IN BOSTON CAPITAL 
TAX CREDIT FUND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, OR BOSTON CAPITAL TAX CREDIT FUND II 
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, OR BOSTON CAPITAL TAX CREDIT FUND III L.P. 


   The Fund anticipates acquiring, on behalf of Series 29, limited 
partnership interests in the twenty-two (22) Operating Partnerships more 
fully described hereinafter (the "Operating Partnerships") pursuant to the 
provisions of "Investment Objectives and Acquisition Policies," as set forth 
in the Prospectus. The Operating General Partners (or affiliates thereof) 
with respect to certain of the Operating Partnerships described below are 
general partners of other operating partnerships which have been invested in 
by the Fund on behalf of other series and/or other partnerships affiliated 
with the General Partner. (See "Conflicts of Interest" in the Prospectus). A 
significant portion of the funds invested by the Fund in each Operating 
Partnership will be used to pay fees and expenses to the Operating General 
Partners. (See the table entitled "Terms of Investment in Operating 
Partnerships" in this Supplement.) 


   The following disclosure changes the tax credit investment objective from 
the annual $1.20 to $1.40 per BAC which appears in the Prospectus and 
supersedes any contrary disclosure in the Prospectus. 

   The Fund will endeavor to invest in Operating Partnerships with a goal of 
generating tax credits for allocation to Investors, upon completion and 
occupancy of all Apartment Complexes, averaging approximately $1.10 to $1.30 
per BAC annually in Series 29, which would be the equivalent of an 
approximate 11%-13% annual Tax Credit as a percentage of capital invested, 
for the ten year credit period applicable to each Apartment Complex in which 
Series 29 invests. (See "Investment Objectives and Acquisition Policies" in 
the Prospectus.) This assumes: (a) the applicability of current tax laws and 
regulations and current interpretations of such laws and regulations by the 
courts; (b) each of such Apartment Complexes is occupied with qualifying 
individuals throughout the 15-year Fed-

<PAGE> 

eral Housing Tax Credit compliance period; and (c) BAC Holders are unable to 
use any passive tax losses generated by the Fund. These investment objectives 
do not represent yield or return on investment. 

   Assuming: none of the Apartment Complexes invested in by a Series has any 
value at the end of the 15-year Federal Housing Tax Credit compliance period 
applicable to the investments of a Series and at such time if an Investor 
uses the suspended passive losses equal to the unreturned Capital 
Contribution, the equivalent tax-free internal rate of return would be 
approximately 5.2%-7.1% for Investors with taxable income which is taxed at 
that time in the 15%-39.6% tax brackets, respectively. (See "Federal Income 
Tax Matters--Passive Loss and Tax Credit Limitations" for a discussion of 
offsetting an Investor's loss of Capital Contribution against active income.) 
If the Apartment Complexes appreciate in value, such increased value can be 
recognized through sales of Operating Partnership Interests or the sale or 
refinancing of Apartment Complexes (even though the restrictions and 
compliance requirements of the Federal Housing Tax Credit program will 
continue to apply to such Apartment Complexes at that time), and Investors 
receive distributions from such sales, the equivalent tax-free internal rate 
of return will be greater. 

   The selection of an 11%-13% annual Tax Credit as a percentage of capital 
invested, as an investment objective, has been made by the Fund after 
consulting with the Dealer-Manager regarding tax-free returns currently 
available to investors in other similar tax credit investments. Pursuant to 
the rules for the allocation of Federal Housing Tax Credits, the Fund's 
investment goal is for the following annual tax-free amounts (for each 
$10,000 investment in Series 29): $300-$400 in 1997; $600-$800 in 1998; 
$1,100-$1,300 in 1999-2006; $800-$1,100 in 2007; and $200-$400 in 2008. This 
statement of Tax Credit investment goal does not represent a forecast of 
anticipated Tax Credits to be obtained nor does it represent a yield or 
return on investment. Rather it represents an investment goal of the Fund 
under the rules for allocation of Tax Credits for the credit period 
applicable to the Fund's anticipated Series 29 investments. As there is no 
assurance that the value of the Fund's assets will equal such amount or that 
such distributions will be made, there is no assurance that any particular 
tax-free internal rate of return will be achieved. (See "Tax Credit 
Programs--The Federal Housing Tax Credit," commencing at page 64 of the 
Prospectus, for a discussion of the allocation of Federal Housing Tax Credits 
during the applicable credit period.) 

   The Fund's investment in Operating Partnerships on behalf of Series 29 
will be consistent with the provisions of the Prospectus relating to the 
investment in Operating Partnerships. (See, particularly, "Investment 
Objectives and Acquisition Policies," "Investment in Operating Partnerships," 
and "Sharing Arrangements: Profits, Credits, Losses, Net Cash Flow and 
Residuals.") 

   THE POTENTIAL OPERATING PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS IDENTIFIED BELOW RELATE ONLY 
TO BCTC IV--SERIES 29. 


   While the General Partner believes that the Fund, on behalf of Series 29, 
is reasonably likely to acquire interests in the Operating Partnerships which 
are developing or will develop, as applicable, the Apartment Complexes 
described hereinafter, the Fund may not be able to do so as a result of 
additional information or changes in circumstances. Before any such 
acquisition is made, the General Partner will continue and complete its due 
diligence review as to the applicable Operating Partnership and the related 
Apartment Complex. This process will include the review and analysis of 
information concerning, among other matters, market competition and 
environmental factors; if any significant adverse information is obtained by 
the General Partner, either action will be taken to mitigate the adverse 
factor(s), or the acquisition will not be made. If such interests are 
acquired, the terms may differ materially from those described below. 
Accordingly, Investors should not rely on the ability of the Fund to invest 
in these Apartment Complexes or under the described investment terms in 
deciding whether to invest in the Fund. The anticipated acquisition of the 
Operating Partnership Interests described hereinafter represents 
approximately 85% of the total equity which the Fund currently expects to 
invest in Operating Partnerships on behalf of Series 29.

   Permanent Mortgage Loan financing for the Apartment Complexes described 
herein is being or will be provided from a variety of sources, as described 
below. It is anticipated that all of the dwelling units in the Apartment 
Complexes identified herein will be eligible for Federal Housing Tax Credits. 
The Apartment Complexes described in this Supplement are anticipated to 
complete construction or rehabilitation, as applicable, during 1997 and 1998. 
Certain of the Apartment Complexes, as described below, have not yet begun 
construction. Delays in construction could occur with respect to Apartment 
Complexes currently under construction or as to which construction has not 
yet commenced, which could result in delay or reduction in achieving Tax 
Credits. (See "Risk Factors--Tax Risks Associated with the Fund's 
Investments" in the Prospectus.) The General Partner believes that each of 
the Apartment Complexes has or will have adequate property insurance. The 
tables included in this Supplement describe in greater detail information 
concerning the Apartment Complexes and the anticipated terms of investment in 
each Operating Partnership. 

   The Priority Return Base for Series 29 is $1.20 per BAC (12%). (See 
"Glossary" at page 163 of the Prospectus for the definition of the term 
"Priority Return Base.") Investors should note that the "Priority Return 
Base" is the level of return that must be provided to Investors before the 
General Partner may receive a 5% share in the proceeds from the sale or 
refinancing of Apartment Complexes or Operating Partnership Interests. (See 
"Liquidation Phase" at page 49 of the Prospectus.) In establishing the 
Priority Return Base, the General Partner is not representing that the Fund 
is expected to provide this level of return to Investors. The General Partner 
will receive fees and compensation for services prior to BAC Holders 
receiving the Priority Return.

   MANAGEMENT 
The disclosure under the section of the Prospectus entitled "Management" on 
page 89 under the subheading "Herbert F. Collins" incorrectly states that Mr. 
Collins currently serves as Chairman of the Massachusetts Housing Policy 
Commission. Mr. Collins was Chairman in 1992 only. 



   C&M ASSOCIATES D/B/A BOSTON CAPITAL ASSOCIATES 
C&M Associates, a Massachusetts general partnership, is the general partner 
of the General Partner. (See "Management" and pages I-5 through I-8 in the 
Prospectus.) The sole partners of C&M Associates, Mr. Collins and Mr. 
Manning, currently have no commitment, intent or reasonable probability that 
they will fund cash flow deficits or furnish other direct or indirect 
financial assistance to C&M Associates. 


   FOR NEBRASKA INVESTORS ONLY: 
The Fund may not complete a sale of BACs to an Investor until at least five 
business days after the Investor receives a final Prospectus. 

   FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE INVESTORS ONLY: 
The Suitability requirements for New Hampshire residents on page 22 of the 
Prospectus are hereby superseded by the following: 

   Additional Suitability Requirements: (1) minimum annual gross taxable 
income of at least $50,000 and a net worth (excluding home, home furnishings 
and automobiles) of not less than $125,000 or (2) a net

worth (exclusive of home, home furnishings and automobiles) of not less than 
$250,000. 


   FOR MASSACHUSETTS INVESTORS ONLY:

received the Prospectus, and an Investor may receive a refund of his/her 
subscription within said five day period.

                                    DATED 
                                 MAY 1, 1996 



                  (SUPPLEMENT OFFERING BCTC IV SERIES 29 AND 
                 IDENTIFYING CERTAIN ANTICIPATED INVESTMENTS) 
This Supplement is part of, and should be read in conjunction with, the 
Prospectus of the Fund. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined have 
the meanings ascribed to them in the Prospectus. This Supplement No. 5 
supersedes all previous supplements to the Prospectus. 


Status of BCTC IV Series 28 
The Fund received orders for a total of 4,000,000 BACs ($39,999,000) with 
respect to Series 28, and issued the last of such Series 28 BACs on January 
31, 1997. The aggregate fees paid as of January 31, 1997 to the General 
Partner and Affiliates with respect to Series 28 were $4,719,882. No 
additional BACs will be offered with respect to Series 28. The Fund has 
issued a total of 27,313,852 BACs, raised $273,114,000 and admitted 16,590 
Investors with respect to Series 20 through 28. (See "Prior Performance of 
the General Partner and its Affiliates" in the Prospectus.) 



Offering of BCTC IV Series 29 
The Fund is offering, effective February 10, 1997, the tenth series of BACs 
("Series 29") consisting of 4,000,000 BACs, with a minimum required 
investment of five hundred BACs at $10 per BAC ($5,000) per Investor, on the 
terms and conditions as are set forth in the Prospectus. No BACs in Series 29 
will be issued unless at least 250,000 BACs in such series are sold. The 
offering of BACs in Series 29 will not exceed 12 months. 


   THE PURCHASE OF BACS IN SERIES 29 WILL NOT ENTITLE THE INVESTOR TO ANY 
INTEREST IN ANY OTHER SERIES OF THE FUND NOR ANY INTEREST IN BOSTON CAPITAL 
TAX CREDIT FUND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, OR BOSTON CAPITAL TAX CREDIT FUND II 
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, OR BOSTON CAPITAL TAX CREDIT FUND III L.P. 


   The Fund anticipates acquiring, on behalf of Series 29, limited 
partnership interests in the twenty-two (22) Operating Partnerships more 
fully described hereinafter (the "Operating Partnerships") pursuant to the 
provisions of "Investment Objectives and Acquisition Policies," as set forth 
in the Prospectus. The Operating General Partners (or affiliates thereof) 
with respect to certain of the Operating Partnerships described below are 
general partners of other operating partnerships which have been invested in 
by the Fund on behalf of other series and/or other partnerships affiliated 
with the General Partner. (See "Conflicts of Interest" in the Prospectus). A 
significant portion of the funds invested by the Fund in each Operating 
Partnership will be used to pay fees and expenses to the Operating General 
Partners. (See the table entitled "Terms of Investment in Operating 
Partnerships" in this Supplement.) 


   The Fund's investment in Operating Partnerships on behalf of Series 29 
will be consistent with the provisions of the Prospectus relating to the 
investment in Operating Partnerships. (See, particularly, "Investment 
Objectives and Acquisition Policies," "Investment in Operating Partnerships," 
and "Sharing Arrangements: Profits, Credits, Losses, Net Cash Flow and 
Residuals.") 

   THE POTENTIAL OPERATING PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS IDENTIFIED BELOW RELATE ONLY 
TO BCTC IV--SERIES 29. 

   While the General Partner believes that the Fund, on behalf of Series 29, 
is reasonably likely to acquire interests in the Operating Partnerships which 
are developing or will develop, as applicable, the Apartment Complexes 
described 

<PAGE> 


hereinafter, the Fund may not be able to do so as a result of additional 
information or changes in circumstances. Before any such acquisition is made, 
the General Partner will continue and complete its due diligence review as to 
the applicable Operating Partnership and the related Apartment Complex. This 
process will include the review and analysis of information concerning, among 
other matters, market competition and environmental factors; if any 
significant adverse information is obtained by the General Partner, either 
action will be taken to mitigate the adverse factor(s), or the acquisition 
will not be made. If such interests are acquired, the terms may differ 
materially from those described below. Accordingly, Investors should not rely 
on the ability of the Fund to invest in these Apartment Complexes or under 
the described investment terms in deciding whether to invest in the Fund. The 
anticipated acquisition of the Operating Partnership Interests described 
hereinafter represents approximately 85% of the total equity which the Fund 
currently expects to invest in Operating Partnerships on behalf of Series 29.

   Permanent Mortgage Loan financing for the Apartment Complexes described 
herein is being or will be provided from a variety of sources, as described 
below. It is anticipated that all of the dwelling units in the Apartment 
Complexes identified herein will be eligible for Federal Housing Tax Credits. 
The Apartment Complexes described in this Supplement are anticipated to 
complete construction or rehabilitation, as applicable, during 1997 and 1998. 
Certain of the Apartment Complexes, as described below, have not yet begun 
construction. Delays in construction could occur with respect to Apartment 
Complexes currently under construction or as to which construction has not 
yet commenced, which could result in delay or reduction in achieving Tax 
Credits. (See "Risk Factors--Tax Risks Associated with the Fund's 
Investments" in the Prospectus.) The General Partner believes that each of 
the Apartment Complexes has or will have adequate property insurance. The 
tables included in this Supplement describe in greater detail information 
concerning the Apartment Complexes and the anticipated terms of investment in 
each Operating Partnership. 

   The Priority Return Base for Series 29 is $1.20 per BAC (12%). (See 
"Glossary" at page 163 of the Prospectus for the definition of the term 
"Priority Return Base.") Investors should note that the "Priority Return 
Base" is the level of return that must be provided to Investors before the 
General Partner may receive a 5% share in the proceeds from the sale or 
refinancing of Apartment Complexes or Operating Partnership Interests. (See 
"Liquidation Phase" at page 49 of the Prospectus.) In establishing the 
Priority Return Base, the General Partner is not representing that the Fund 
is expected to provide this level of return to Investors. The General Partner 
will receive fees and compensation for services prior to BAC Holders 
receiving the Priority Return.
