                  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. 1 supersedes
all previous supplements to the Prospectus.

     Results of BCTC IV Series 32

     The Fund received orders for a total of 4,502,700 BACs ($45,027,000) with
respect to Series 32, and issued the last of such Series 32 BACs on June 17,
1998. The aggregate fees paid as of June 17, 1998 to the General Partner and
Affiliates with respect to Series 32 were $5,290,672. No additional BACs will
be offered with respect to Series 32. The Fund has issued a total of 42,877,209
BACs, raised $428,607,500 and admitted 24,763 Investors with respect to Series
20 through 32 and may still sell up to $196,392,500 to the public if all the
BACs in Series 33 are sold. (See "Prior Performance of the General Partner and
its Affiliates" in the Prospectus for information about Series 20 through 32.)

     Offering of BCTC IV Series 33

     The Fund is offering, effective June 18, 1998, the fourteenth series of
BACs ("Series 33") consisting of 2,500,000 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 33
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 33, a
significant portion of the Apartment Complexes identified herein will not be
invested in. In addition, of each dollar raised by Series 33, 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 33 will not exceed 12
months.

     THE PURCHASE OF BACS IN SERIES 33 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 33, limited
partnership interests in the ten (10) 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 33, which would be the equivalent of an approximate
10%-12% annual Tax Credit as a percentage of capital invested, for the ten year
credit period applicable to each Apartment Complex in which

<PAGE>

Series 33 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 33): $100-$200 in 1998, $400-$600 in 1999; $1,000-$1,200 in 2000-2008
and $400-$600 in 2009. 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 33 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 33
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 33.

     While the General Partner believes that the Fund, on behalf of Series 33,
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


                                      S-2
<PAGE>

in these Apartment Complexes or under the described investment terms in
deciding whether to invest in the Fund. If the entire $25 million is raised for
Series 33, the anticipated acquisition of the Operating Partnership Interests,
described hereinafter, will represent approximately 100% of the total money
which the Fund currently expects to spend on behalf of Series 33.

     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
     Since Series 33 is currently in the offering phase, it has no material
assets or any operating history. The ten (10) 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 33 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


                                      S-3
<PAGE>

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 33 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. 1 supersedes
all previous supplements to the Prospectus.


     Results of BCTC IV Series 32

     The Fund received orders for a total of 4,502,700 BACs ($45,027,000) with
respect to Series 32, and issued the last of such Series 32 BACs on June 17,
1998. The aggregate fees paid as of June 17, 1998 to the General Partner and
Affiliates with respect to Series 32 were $5,290,672. No additional BACs will
be offered with respect to Series 32. The Fund has issued a total of 42,877,209
BACs, raised $428,607,500 and admitted 24,763 Investors with respect to Series
20 through 32 and may still sell up to $196,392,500 to the public if all the
BACs in Series 33 are sold. (See "Prior Performance of the General Partner and
its Affiliates" in the Prospectus for information about Series 20 through 32.)


     Offering of BCTC IV Series 33

     The Fund is offering, effective June 18, 1998, the fourteenth series of
BACs ("Series 33") consisting of 2,500,000 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 33
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 33, a
significant portion of the Apartment Complexes identified herein will not be
invested in. In addition, of each dollar raised by Series 33, 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 33 will not exceed 12
months.

     THE PURCHASE OF BACS IN SERIES 33 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 33, limited
partnership interests in the ten (10) 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 33
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.")

<PAGE>

     THE POTENTIAL OPERATING PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS IDENTIFIED BELOW RELATE ONLY
TO BCTC IV--SERIES 33.

     While the General Partner believes that the Fund, on behalf of Series 33,
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 $25 million is raised for Series 33, the anticipated acquisition of
the Operating Partnership Interests, described hereinafter, will represent
approximately 100% of the total money which the Fund currently expects to spend
on behalf of Series 33.

     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
     Since Series 33 is currently in the offering phase, it has no material
assets or any operating history. The ten (10) 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 33 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.
