                   (SUPPLEMENT OFFERING BCTC IV SERIES 34 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. 3 supersedes
all previous supplements to the prospectus.

     Results of BCTC IV Series 33
     The Fund received orders for a total of 2,810,000 BACs ($28,100,000) with
respect to Series 33 and issued the last of such Series 33 BACs on September
21, 1998. The aggregate fees paid as of September 21, 1998 to the General
Partner and Affiliates with respect to Series 33 were $3,301,750. No additional
BACs will be offered with respect to Series 33. The Fund has issued a total of
45,938,707 BACs, raised $459,111,500 and admitted 26,038 Investors with respect
to Series 20 through 33 and may still sell up to $190,888,500 to the public if
all the BACs in Series 34 are sold. (See "Prior Performance of the General
Partner and its Affiliates" in the Prospectus for information about Series 20
through 33.)

     Offering of BCTC IV Series 34
     The Fund is offering, effective September 22, 1998, the fifteenth series
of BACs ("Series 34") 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 34
will be issued unless at least 250,000 BACs in such series are sold. In the
event that only the minimum number of 250,000 BACs are sold in Series 34, a
significant portion of the Apartment Complexes identified herein will not be
invested in. In addition, of each dollar raised by Series 34, approximately 72%
to 73% will be used for investments in Apartment Complexes, and about one-half
of the balance will be used to pay fees and expenses to the General Partner or
its Affiliates. (See "Estimated Use of Proceeds," and "Compensation and Fees"
in the Prospectus.) The offering of BACs in Series 34 will not exceed 12
months.

     THE PURCHASE OF BACS IN SERIES 34 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 34, limited
partnership interests in the fifteen (15) 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 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 $1.00 to $1.20
per BAC annually in Series 34, which would be the equivalent of an approximate
10%-12% annual Tax Credit

<PAGE>

as a percentage of capital invested, for the ten year credit period applicable
to each Apartment Complex in which Series 34 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
Federal 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 4%-6%
(approximately 4.7%-9.9% taxable internal rate of return) 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 a 10%-12% 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 34): $200-$400 in 1999; $600-$800 in 2000, $1,000-$1,200 in
2001-2008, $600-$800 in 2009 and $200-$400 in 2010. 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 34
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 34
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 34.

     While the General Partner believes that the Fund, on behalf of Series 34,
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

                                      S-2
<PAGE>

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. If the
entire $40 million is raised for Series 34, the anticipated acquisition of the
Operating Partnership Interests, described hereinafter, will represent
approximately 84% of the total money which the Fund currently expects to spend
on behalf of Series 34.

     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
     Since Series 34 is currently in the offering phase, it has no material
assets or any operating history. The fifteen (15) Operating Partnerships in
which Interests are currently expected to be acquired, and the respective
Operating General Partners, are as follows:

     Permanent Mortgage Loan financing for the Apartment Complexes described
herein is being or will be provided from a variety of sources, as described
below. 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 34 is $1.10 per BAC (11%). (See
"Glossary" at page 162 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.

                   (SUPPLEMENT OFFERING BCTC IV SERIES 34 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. 3 supersedes
all previous supplements to the prospectus.

     Results of BCTC IV Series 33
     The Fund received orders for a total of 2,810,000 BACs ($28,100,000) with
respect to Series 33 and issued the last of such Series 33 BACs on September
21, 1998. The aggregate fees paid as of September 21, 1998 to the General
Partner and Affiliates with respect to Series 33 were $3,301,750. No additional
BACs will be offered with respect to Series 33. The Fund has issued a total of
45,938,707 BACs, raised $459,111,500 and admitted 26,038 Investors with respect
to Series 20 through 33 and may still sell up to $190,888,500 to the public if
all the BACs in Series 34 are sold. (See "Prior Performance of the General
Partner and its Affiliates" in the Prospectus for information about Series 20
through 33.)

     Offering of BCTC IV Series 34
     The Fund is offering, effective September 22, 1998, the fifteenth series
of BACs ("Series 34") 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 34
will be issued unless at least 250,000 BACs in such series are sold. In the
event that only the minimum number of 250,000 BACs are sold in Series 34, a
significant portion of the Apartment Complexes identified herein will not be
invested in. In addition, of each dollar raised by Series 34, approximately 72%
to 73% will be used for investments in Apartment Complexes, and about one-half
of the balance will be used to pay fees and expenses to the General Partner or
its Affiliates. (See "Estimated Use of Proceeds," and "Compensation and Fees"
in the Prospectus.) The offering of BACs in Series 34 will not exceed 12
months.

     THE PURCHASE OF BACS IN SERIES 34 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 34, limited
partnership interests in the fifteen (15) 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 34
will be consistent with the provisions of the Prospectus relating to the
investment in Operating Partnerships. (See, particularly, "Investment
Objectives

<PAGE>

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 34.

     While the General Partner believes that the Fund, on behalf of Series 34,
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. If
the entire $40 million is raised for Series 34, the anticipated acquisition of
the Operating Partnership Interests, described hereinafter, will represent
approximately 84% of the total money which the Fund currently expects to spend
on behalf of Series 34.

     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
     Since Series 34 is currently in the offering phase, it has no material
assets or any operating history. The fifteen (15) Operating Partnerships in
which Interests are currently expected to be acquired, and the respective
Operating General Partners, are as follows:

     Permanent Mortgage Loan financing for the Apartment Complexes described
herein is being or will be provided from a variety of sources, as described
below. 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 34 is $1.10 per BAC (11%). (See
"Glossary" at page 162 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.
