PART I
Item 1. Business.
GENERAL
Independence Tax Credit Plus L.P. IV (the "Partnership") is a limited
partnership which was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on February
22, 1995. The general partner of the Partnership is Related Independence L.L.C.,
a Delaware limited liability company (the "General Partner").
On July 6, 1995, the Partnership commenced a public offering (the "Offering") of
Beneficial Assignment Certificates ("BACs") representing assignments of limited
partnership interests in the Partnership ("Limited Partnership Interests"),
managed by Related Equities Corporation (the "Dealer Manager"), pursuant to a
prospectus dated July 6, 1995 (the "Prospectus").
As of March 31, 2000, the Partnership has received $45,844,000 of Gross Proceeds
of the Offering from 2,759 investors ("BACs holders"). The solicitation for the
subscription of BACs was terminated as of May 22, 1996 and the final closing
occurred on August 15, 1996.
The Partnership's business is primarily to invest in other partnerships ("Local
Partnerships") owning apartment complexes ("Apartment Complexes" or
"Properties") that are eligible for the low-income housing tax credit ("Housing
Tax Credit") enacted in the Tax Reform Act of 1986, some of which may also be
eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax credit ("Historic Tax Credit";
together with Housing Tax Credits, "Tax Credits"). As of March 31, 2000, the
Partnership has acquired an interest in fourteen Local Partnerships, all of
which have been consolidated. The Partnership's investments in Local
Partnerships represent from 98.99% to 99.89% interests except for one investment
which is a 58.12% interest. As of March 31, 2000, the Partnership has invested
approximately $37,670,000 (including approximately $1,161,000 classified as a
loan repayable from sale/refinancing proceeds in accordance with the
Contribution Agreement and not including acquisition fees of approximately
$1,771,000) of net proceeds in fourteen Local Partnerships of which
approximately $3,762,000 remains to be paid to the Local Partnerships (including
approximately $629,000 being held in escrow) as certain benchmarks, such as
occupancy level, are attained prior to the release of the funds. The Partnership
has completed acquiring additional properties, but the Partnership may be
required to fund potential purchase price adjustments based on tax credit
adjustor clauses. See Item 2, Properties, below.
The Partnership has been formed to invest in Apartment Complexes that are
eligible for the Housing Tax Credit enacted in the Tax Reform Act of 1986. Some
Apartment Complexes may also be eligible for Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits
("Historic Complexes"). The investment objectives of the Partnership are
described below.
1. Entitle qualified BACs holders to Housing Tax Credits over the period of the
Partnership's entitlement to claim Tax Credits (for each Property, generally ten
years from the date of investment or, if later, the date the Property is leased
to qualified tenants; referred to herein as the "Credit Period") with respect to
each Apartment Complex.
2. Preserve and protect the Partnership's capital.
3. Participate in any capital appreciation in the value of the Properties and
provide distributions of Sale or Refinancing Proceeds upon the disposition of
the Properties.
-2-
<PAGE>
4. Allocate passive losses to individual BACs holders to offset passive income
that they may realize from rental real estate investments and other passive
activities, and allocate passive losses to corporate BACs holders to offset
business income.
One of the Partnership's objectives is to entitle qualified BACs holders to
Housing Tax Credits over the Credit Period. Each of the Local Partnerships in
which the Partnership has acquired an interest has been allocated by the
relevant state credit agencies the authority to recognize Tax Credits during the
Credit Period provided that the Local Partnership satisfies the rent
restriction, minimum set-aside and other requirements for recognition of the Tax
Credits at all times during such period. Once a Local Partnership has become
eligible to recognize Tax Credits, it may lose such eligibility and suffer an
event of "recapture" if its Property fails to remain in compliance with the Tax
Credit requirements. None of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership has
acquired an interest has suffered an event of recapture.
There can be no assurance that the Partnership will achieve its investment
objectives as described above.
The Partnership is subject to the risks incident to potential losses arising
from the management and ownership of improved real estate and poor economic
conditions.
COMPETITION
The real estate business is highly competitive and substantially all of the
properties acquired and to be acquired by the Partnership are expected to have
active competition from similar properties in their respective vicinities. The
Partnership will compete in the acquisition of properties with many other
entities engaged in real estate investment activities, some of which have
greater assets than the Partnership. In addition, the number of entities and the
amount available for investment in properties of a type suitable for investment
by the Partnership may increase, resulting in increased competition for such
investments and possible increases in the prices to be paid. In addition,
various other limited partnerships may, in the future, be formed by the General
Partner and/or its affiliates to engage in businesses which may be competitive
with the Partnership.
EMPLOYEES
The Partnership does not have any direct employees. All services are performed
for the Partnership by the General Partner and its affiliates. The General
Partner receives compensation in the connection with such activities as set
forth in Items 11 and 13. In addition, the Partnership reimburses the General
Partner and certain of its affiliates from expenses incurred in connection with
the performance by their employees of services for the Partnership in accordance
with the Partnership's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership
(the "Partnership Agreement").
Item 2. Properties.
As of March 31, 2000, the Partnership has acquired an interest in fourteen Local
Partnerships, all of which have been consolidated. Except for the interest in
New Zion Apartments, L.P. ("New Zion"), the Partnership's investment in each
Local Partnership represents 98.99% or 99.89% of the partnership interests in
the Local Partnership. The Partnership's investment in New Zion represents
58.12% of the partnership interest in the subsidiary partnership (the other
41.86% limited partnership interest is owned by an affiliate of the Partnership,
with the same management). Through the rights of the Partnership and/or an
affiliate of the General Partner, which affiliate has a contractual obligation
to act on behalf of the Partnership, to remove the general partner and to
approve certain major operating and financial decisions, the Partnership
-3-
<PAGE>
has a controlling financial interest in all of the Local Partnerships it has
invested. Set forth below is a schedule of the Local Partnerships including
certain information concerning their respective Apartment Complexes (the "Local
Partnership Schedule"). Further information concerning the Local Partnerships
and their properties, including any encumbrances affecting the properties may be
found in Item 14. Schedule III .

* Properties still in construction phase.
** Project substantially completed but no certificate of occupancy recieved.
Leases are generally for periods not greater than one to two years and no tenant
occupies more than 10% of the rentable square footage.
Management continuously reviews the physical state of the properties and
suggests to the respective Local General Partners budget improvements which are
generally funded from cash flow from operations or release of replacement
reserve escrows.
Management annually reviews the insurance coverage of the properties and
believes such coverage is adequate.
See Item 1, Business, above for the general competitive conditions to which the
properties described above are subject.
Real estate taxes are calculated using rates and assessed valuations determined
by the township or city in which the property is located. Such taxes have
approximated less than 1% of the aggregate cost of the properties as shown in
Schedule III to the financial statements included herein.
In connection with investments in development-stage Apartment Complexes, the
General Partner generally requires that the general partners of the Local
Partnerships ("Local General Partners") provide completion guarantees and/or
undertake to repurchase the Partnership's interest in the Local Partnership if
construction or rehabilitation is not completed substantially on time or on
budget ("Development Deficit Guarantees"). The Development Deficit Guarantees
generally also require the Local General Partner to provide any funds necessary
to cover net operating deficits of the Local Partnership until such time as the
Apartment Complex has achieved break-even operations. The General Partner
generally requires that the Local General Partners undertake an obligation to
fund operating deficits of the Local Partnership (up to a stated maximum amount)
during a limited period of time (typically three to five years) following the
achievement of break-even operations ("Operating Deficit Guarantees"). Under the
terms of the Development and Operating Deficit Guarantees, amounts funded will
be treated as Operating Loans which will not bear interest and will be repaid
only out of 50% of available cash flow or out of available net sale or
refinancing proceeds. In some instances, the Local General Partners are required
to undertake an obligation to comply with a Rent-Up Guaranty Agreement, whereby
the Local General Partner agrees to pay liquidated damages if predetermined
occupancy rates are not achieved. These payments are made without right of
repayment. In cases where the General Partner deems it appropriate, the
obligations of a Local General Partner under the Development Deficit, Operating
Deficit and/or Rent-Up Guarantees are secured by letters of credit and/or cash
escrow deposits.
Housing Tax Credits with respect to a given Apartment Complex are available for
a ten-year period that commences when the property is placed into service.
However, the annual Tax Credits available in the year in which the Apartment
Complex is placed in service must be prorated based upon the months remaining in
the year. The amount of the annual Tax Credit
-5-
<PAGE>
not available in the first year will be available in the eleventh year. In
certain cases, the Partnership acquired its interest in a Local Partnership
after the Local Partnership had placed its Apartment Complex in service. In
these cases, the Partnership may be allocated Tax Credits only beginning in the
month following the month in which it acquired its interest and Tax Credits
allocated in any prior period are not available to the Partnership.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
None.
PART II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Security Holder
Matters.
As of March 31, 2000, the Partnership had issued and outstanding 45,844 Limited
Partnership Interests, each representing a $1,000 capital contribution to the
Partnership, or an aggregate capital contribution of $45,844,000. All of the
issued and outstanding Limited Partnership Interests have been issued to
Independence Assignor Inc. (the "Assignor Limited Partner"), which has in turn
issued 45,844 BACs to the purchasers thereof for an aggregate purchase price of
$45,844,000. Each BAC represents all of the economic and virtually all of the
ownership rights attributable to a Limited Partnership Interest held by the
Assignor Limited Partner. BACs may be converted into Limited Partnership
Interests at no cost to the holder (other than the payment of transfer costs not
to exceed $100), but Limited Partnership Interests so acquired are not
thereafter convertible into BACs.
Neither the BACs nor the Limited Partnership Interests are traded on any
established trading market. The Partnership does not intend to include the BACs
for quotation on NASDAQ or for listing on any national or regional stock
exchange or any other established securities market. The Revenue Act of 1987
contained provisions which have an adverse impact on investors in "publicly
traded partnerships." Accordingly, the General Partner plans to impose limited
restrictions on the transferability of the BACs and the Limited Partnership
Interests in secondary market transactions. Implementation of the restrictions
should prevent a public trading market from developing and may adversely affect
the ability of an investor to liquidate his or her investment quickly. It is
expected that such procedures will remain in effect until such time, if ever, as
further revision of the Revenue Act of 1987 may permit the Partnership to lessen
the scope of the restrictions.
As of June 1, 2000, the Partnership has approximately 2,546 registered holders
of an aggregate of 45,844 BACs.
All of the Partnership's general partnership interests, representing an
aggregate capital contribution of $1,000, are held by the General Partner.
There are no material legal restrictions in the Partnership Agreement on the
ability of the Partnership to make distributions.
The Partnership has made no distributions to the BACs holders as of March 31,
2000. The Partnership does not anticipate providing cash distributions to its
BACs holders other than from net refinancing or sales proceeds.

</TABLE>
During the years end March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 total assets increased
primarily due to the proceeds from mortgage and construction loans which were
utilized in the investment of Local Partnerships amounting to approximately
$10,500,000, $3,400,000 and $11,900,000, respectively. During the years ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996 total assets increased primarily due to an increase in
cash and cash equivalents and investments available for sale primarily due to
capital contributions which were not fully expended amounting to approximately
$13,300,000 and $20,000,000, respectively. For the years ended March 31, 2000,
1999, 1998, 1997 and 1996 total assets and liabilities increased primarily due
to the continued acquisition of Local Partnerships. For the years ended March
31, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997 and 1996 property and equipment increased
approximately $28,900,000, $12,100,000, $14,000,000, $17,500,000 and $2,700,000,
respectively. During the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999, 1998 and 1997
mortgage notes increased approximately $5,000,000, $1,400,000, $8,100,000 and
$9,200,000, respectively.
CASH DISTRIBUTIONS
The Partnership has made no distributions to the BACs holders as of March 31,
2000.

<PAGE>
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Partnership's primary source of funds include (i) interest earned on Gross
Proceeds which are invested in tax-exempt money market instruments pending
acquisition of Local Partnerships and (ii) working capital reserve and interest
thereon. All these sources are available to meet obligations of the Partnership.
The Partnership has received $45,844,000 in gross proceeds for BACs pursuant to
a public offering, resulting in net proceeds available for investment of
approximately $36,446,000 after volume discounts, payment of sales commissions,
acquisition fees and expenses, organization and offering expenses and
establishment of a working capital reserve.
As of March 31, 2000, the Partnership has invested approximately $37,670,000
(including approximately $1,161,000 classified as a loan repayable from
sale/refinancing proceeds in accordance with the Contribution Agreement and not
including acquisition fees of approximately $1,771,000) of net proceeds in
fourteen Local Partnerships of which approximately $3,762,000 remains to be paid
to the Local Partnerships (including approximately $629,000 being held in
escrow) as certain benchmarks, such as occupancy level, are attained prior to
the release of the funds. Four Local Partnerships were acquired during the year
ended March 31, 2000 for a purchase price of approximately $7,544,000 of which
approximately $1,664,000 remains to be paid. During the year ended March 31,
2000, approximately $12,309,000 was paid to Local Partnerships, including
purchase price adjustments (of which approximately $691,000 was released from
escrow). The Partnership has completed acquiring additional properties, but the
Partnership may be required to fund potential purchase price adjustments based
on tax credit adjustor clauses. Such adjustments resulted in a net increase in
purchase price of approximately $921,000 during the year ended March 31, 2000.
For the year ended March 31, 2000, cash and cash equivalents of the Partnership
and its fourteen consolidated Local Partnerships increased approximately
$946,000 due to cash provided by operating activities ($305,000), a decrease in
cash held in escrow relating to investing activities ($691,000), a decrease in
investments available-for-sale ($10,950,000), net proceeds from mortgage and
construction loans ($10,550,000), an increase in accounts payable relating to
investing activities ($88,000) and an increase in capitalization of consolidated
subsidiaries attributable to minority interest ($1,140,000) which exceeded
acquisition of property and equipment ($18,204,000), a net decrease in due to
local general partner and affiliates relating to investing activities
($3,912,000) and a net increase in deferred costs relating to investing and
financing activities ($662,000). Included in the adjustments to reconcile the
net loss to cash provided by operations is depreciation and amortization of
approximately $2,375,000.
A working capital reserve has been established from the Partnership's funds
available for investment, which includes amounts which may be required for
potential purchase price adjustments based on tax credit adjustor clauses. At
both March 31, 2000 and 1999, approximately $1,146,000 of this revenue remained
unused. The General Partner believes that these reserves, plus any cash
distributions received from the operations of the Local Partnerships, will be
sufficient to fund the Partnership's ongoing operations for the foreseeable
future. During the year ended March 31, 2000, distributions from Local
Partnerships amounted to approximately $2,000. Management anticipates receiving
distributions in the future, although not to a level sufficient to permit
providing cash distributions to the BACs holders.

<PAGE>
The property owned by one of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership has
invested has been in operation and has maintained stable occupancy since 1990.
The Partnership has negotiated Development Deficit Guaranty Agreements with the
development stage Local Partnerships in which it has invested, two of which have
expired as of March 31, 2000. The Local General Partners and/or their affiliates
have agreed to fund development deficits through the breakeven dates of each of
the Local Partnerships. Such guarantees are defined in their respective
agreements and generally there is no right of repayment to such Local General
Partners. Amounts received under Development Deficit Guaranty from the
developers of the properties purchased by the Partnership are treated as a
reduction of the carrying value of the respective assets.
The Partnership has negotiated Operating Deficit Guaranty Agreements with the
development stage Local Partnerships by which the general partners of such Local
Partnerships and/or their affiliates have agreed to fund operating deficits for
a specified period of time. The terms of the Operating Deficit Guaranty
Agreements vary for each of these Local Partnerships, with maximum dollar
amounts to be funded for a specified period of time, generally three years,
commencing on the break-even date. As of March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, the
gross amounts of the Operating Deficit Guarantees aggregate approximately
$3,331,700, $2,665,000 and $1,848,000, respectively, none of which have expired
as of March 31, 2000. All current Operating Deficit Guarantees expire within the
next three years. As of March 31, 2000, nothing has been funded under the
Operating Deficit Guaranty Agreements. Amounts funded under such agreements will
be treated as non-interest bearing loans, which will be paid only out of 50% of
available cash flow or out of available net sale or refinancing proceeds.
In addition, one Local Partnership has a Rent-Up Guaranty Agreement, in which
the Local General Partner agrees to pay liquidated damages if predetermined
occupancy rates are not achieved. The Local General Partner has agreed to fund
the Rent-Up Guaranty through the break-even date. As of March 31, 2000, the
remaining amount of this Rent-Up Guaranty for the Local Partnership aggregated
approximately $262,000 and it has not expired. There has not been any funding
under this guaranty agreement. Amounts received under the guaranty will be
treated as a reduction of the carrying value of the respective assets.
The Operating Deficit Guaranty Agreements, Rent-Up Guaranty Agreements, and
Development Deficit Guaranty Agreements are negotiated to protect the
Partnership's interest in the Local Partnerships and to provide incentive to the
Local General Partners to generate positive cash flow.
Partnership management fees owed to the General Partner amounting to
approximately $415,000 and $275,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31, 2000
and 1999, respectively.
The Partnership has invested all of the net proceeds available for investment in
fourteen Local Partnerships, of which all will generate tax credits in 2000.
Additionally, due to recent increases in market demand for investments in
properties that are eligible to receive tax credits and limitations on the types
of investments which may be obtained by the Partnership the purchase price for
interests in Local Partnerships which are qualified for purchase by the
Partnership have increased. As a result of these changes in market, management
does not believe that the Partnership will be able to invest the proceeds
available for investment in a manner which will enable the Partnership to
achieve tax credits in the range of $140-150 for each $1,000 BAC each year in
which the Partnership is receiving its full entitlement of tax credits.
Management is not aware of any trends or events, commitments or uncertainties,
which have not otherwise been disclosed that will or are likely to impact
liquidity in a material way. Management believes the only impact would be from
laws that have not yet been adopted. The
-9-
<PAGE>
portfolio will be diversified by the location of the properties around the
United States so that if one area of the country is experiencing downturns in
the economy, the remaining properties in the portfolio may be experiencing
upswings. However the geographic diversification of the portfolio may not
protect against a general downturn in the national economy. The tax credits will
be attached to the project for a period of ten years, and will be transferable
with the property during the remainder of such ten-year period. If the General
Partner determined that a sale of a property is warranted, the remaining tax
credits would transfer to the new owner; thereby adding significant value to the
property on the market, which potential increase in value is not included in the
financial statement carrying amount.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Property and equipment to be held and used are carried at cost which includes
the purchase price, acquisition fees and expenses, construction period interest
and any other costs incurred in acquiring the properties. The cost of property
and equipment is depreciated over their estimated useful lives using accelerated
and straight-line methods. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged
to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the
time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and
accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the assets and accumulated
depreciation accounts and the profit or loss on such disposition is reflected in
earnings. A loss on impairment of assets is recorded when management estimates
amounts recoverable through future operations and sale of the property on an
undiscounted basis are below depreciated cost. At that time property investments
themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally using discounted cash
flows) when the property is considered to be impaired and the depreciated cost
exceeds estimated fair value.
Through March 31, 2000, the Partnership has not recorded any loss on impairment
of assets or reductions to estimated fair value.
The following is a summary of the results of operations of the Partnership for
the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 (the 1999, 1998 and 1997 Fiscal
Years).
The net loss for the 1999, 1998 and 1997 Fiscal Years totaled $3,180,438,
$1,267,733 and $551,857, respectively.
The Partnership and BACs holders began recognizing Housing Tax Credits with
respect to a property when the credit period for such property commenced.
Because of the time required for the acquisition, completion and rent-up of
properties, the amount of Tax Credits per BAC has gradually increased over the
first three years of the Partnership. Housing Tax Credits not recognized in the
first three years will be recognized in the 11th through 13th years. The
Partnership generated $4,846,123, $2,659,921 and $1,267,926 of Housing Tax
Credits and $6,450,724, $0 and $0 Historic Tax Credits during the 1999, 1998 and
1997 tax years, respectively.
The Partnership's results of operations for the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999
and 1998 consisted primarily of (1) approximately $339,000, $597,000 and
$1,021,000 of tax-exempt interest income earned on funds not currently invested
in Local Partnerships and (2) the results of the Partnership's investment in
fourteen, ten and nine consolidated Local Partnerships, respectively.
During the year ended March 31, 2000, all categories of income and expenses
increased except for other income and the results of operations are not
comparable due to the continued acquisition, construction and rent up of
properties and are not reflective of future operations of the Partnership due to
uncompleted property construction and rent-up of properties. In addition,
interest income will decrease in future periods since a substantial portion of
the proceeds from
-10-
<PAGE>
the Offering will be invested in Local Partnerships. Other income decreased
approximately $300,000 for the year ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the
corresponding period in 2000 primarily due to a decrease in interest income as a
result of the acquisition of and the release of proceeds to the Local
Partnerships. For the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, three, four and
two of the Partnership's fourteen, ten and nine consolidated properties,
respectively, completed construction and were in various stages of rent up. In
addition, three, three and three of the properties, respectively, had completed
construction in a previous fiscal year, but were in various stages of rent up
for the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998. As of the years ended March
31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, two, three and four of the Partnership's fourteen, ten
and nine consolidated properties, respectively, were still under construction
and two, four and four of the properties, respectively, had construction loans
with a commitment for permanent financing.
OTHER
The Partnership's investment as a limited partner in the Local Partnerships is
subject to the risks of potential losses arising from management and ownership
of improved real estate. The Partnership's investments also could be adversely
affected by poor economic conditions generally, which could increase vacancy
levels and rental payment defaults and by increased operating expenses, any or
all of which could threaten the financial viability of one or more of the Local
Partnerships.
There also are substantial risks associated with the operation of Apartment
Complexes receiving government assistance. These include governmental
regulations concerning tenant eligibility, which may make it more difficult to
rent apartments in the complexes; difficulties in obtaining government approval
for rent increases; limitations on the percentage of income which low and
moderate income tenants may pay as rent; the possibility that Congress may not
appropriate funds to enable HUD to make the rental assistance payments it has
contracted to make; and that when the rental assistance contracts expire there
may not be market demand for apartments at full market rents in a Local
Partnership's Apartment Complex.
The Local Partnerships are impacted by inflation in several ways. Inflation
allows for increases in rental rates generally to reflect the impact of higher
operating and replacement costs. Inflation also affects the Local Partnerships
adversely by increasing operating costs as, for example, for such items as fuel,
utilities and labor. However, continued inflation should allow for appreciated
values of the Local Partnerships' Apartment Complexes over a period of time as
rental revenues and replacement costs continue to increase.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Partners of
Independence Tax Credit Plus L.P. IV and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Independence Tax
Credit Plus L.P. IV (a Delaware limited partnership) and Subsidiaries as of
March 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
changes in partners' capital and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2000,
1999 and 1998 (the 1999, 1998 and 1997 fiscal years). These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not
audit the financial statements for twelve subsidiary partnerships (1999 fiscal
year), nine subsidiary partnerships (1998 fiscal year) and eight subsidiary
partnerships (1997 fiscal year) whose losses aggregated $2,675,329, $1,188,735
and $902,970 for the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively,
and whose assets constituted 86% and 73% of consolidated assets at March 31,
2000 and 1999, respectively, presented in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose
reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the
amounts included for these subsidiary partnerships, is based solely on the
reports of the other auditors.
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 are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 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 and the reports of the other auditors provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Independence Tax Credit Plus L.P.
IV and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and
1998 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

INDEPENDENCE TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P. IV
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000
NOTE 1 - General
Independence Tax Credit Plus L.P. IV (a Delaware limited partnership) (the
"Partnership") was organized on February 22, 1995 and commenced a public
offering on July 6, 1995. The general partner of the Partnership is Related
Independence L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the "General
Partner").
The Partnership's business is to invest in other partnerships ("Local
Partnerships," "subsidiaries" or "subsidiary partnerships") owning apartment
complexes that are eligible for the low-income housing tax credit ("Housing Tax
Credit") enacted in the Tax Reform Act of 1986, some of which complexes may also
be eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax credit ("Historic Tax Credit";
together with Housing Tax Credits, "Tax Credits").
As of March 31, 2000, the Partnership has acquired limited partnership interests
in fourteen subsidiary partnerships, all of which have been consolidated. The
Partnership does not anticipate acquiring limited partnership interests in
additional subsidiary partnerships. The Partnership's investments in Local
Partnerships represent from 98.99% to 99.89% interests, except for one
investment which is a 58.12% interest.
As of March 31, 2000, the Partnership was authorized to issue a total of 100,000
($100,000,000) Beneficial Assignment Certificates ("BACs") which have been
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission for sale to the public.
Each BAC represents all of the economic and virtually all of the ownership
rights attributable to a limited partnership interest. The solicitation for the
subscription of BAC's was terminated as of May 22, 1996 and the final closing
occurred on August 15, 1996. As of March 31, 2000, the Partnership had raised a
total of $45,844,000 representing 45,844 BACs.
NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Basis of Accounting
For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership's fiscal year ends on
March 31. All subsidiaries have fiscal years ending December 31. Accounts of the
subsidiaries have been adjusted for intercompany transactions from January 1
through March 31. The Partnership's fiscal year ends March 31 in order to allow
adequate time for the subsidiaries financial statements to be prepared and
consolidated. The books and records of the Partnership are maintained on the
accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
b) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership
and fourteen, ten and nine subsidiary partnerships for the years ended March 31,
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, in which the Partnership is a limited
partner. Through the rights of the Partnership and/or an affiliate of the
General Partner, which affiliate has a contractual obligation to act on behalf
of the Partnership, to remove the general partner of the subsidiary local
partnerships and to approve certain major operating and financial decisions, the
Partnership has a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary partnerships.
All intercompany accounts and transactions with the subsidiary partnerships have
been eliminated in consolidation.
-45-
<PAGE>
Acquisition of Partnership interests are recorded under the purchase method of
accounting. During the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 four, one and
two multifamily properties with an aggregate of 211, 25, and 225 units,
respectively were acquired in separate transactions from unaffiliated sellers.
Increases (decreases) in the capitalization of the consolidated subsidiaries
attributable to minority interests arise from cash contributions from and cash
distributions to the minority interest partners.
Losses attributable to minority interests which exceed the minority interests'
investment in a subsidiary have been charged to the Partnership. Such losses
aggregated approximately $25,000, $23,000 and $89,000 for the years ended
March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Partnership's investment in
each subsidiary is equal to the respective subsidiary's partners' equity less
minority interest capital, if any. In consolidation, all subsidiary partnership
losses are included in the Partnership's capital account except for losses
allocated to minority interest capital.
c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks, and investments
in short-term highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of
three months or less.
d) Investments Available-For-Sale
At inception, the Partnership adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." At March 31,
2000 and 1999, the Partnership has classified its securities as available for
sale.
Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with net unrealized gain
(loss) reported as a separate component of partners' capital until realized. A
decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that
is deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings, resulting in the
establishment of a new cost basis for the security.
At March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Partnership's investments classified as
investments available-for-sale are carried at cost which approximates fair
market value, have maturities of less than one year and consists of municipal
bonds and municipal bond instruments. As further clarification, the maturities
of the investments are approximately one month and therefore there are no
material unrealized gains or losses.
e) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment to be held and used are carried at cost which includes
the purchase price, acquisition fees and expenses, construction period interest
and any other costs incurred in acquiring the properties. The cost of property
and equipment is depreciated over their estimated useful lives using accelerated
and straight-line methods. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged
to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the
time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and
accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the assets and accumulated
depreciation ac-
-46-
<PAGE>
counts and the profit or loss on such disposition is reflected in earnings. A
loss on impairment of assets is recorded when management estimates amounts
recoverable through future operations and sale of the property on an
undiscounted basis are below depreciated cost. At that time property investments
themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally using estimated future
discounted net cash flows) when the property is considered to be impaired and
the depreciated cost exceeds estimated fair value.
At the time management commits to a plan to dispose of assets, said assets are
adjusted to the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. These
assets are classified as property and equipment-held for sale and are not
depreciated. There are no assets classified as property and equipment-held for
sale through March 31, 2000.
Through March 31, 2000, the Partnership has not recorded any loss on impairment
of assets or reductions to estimated fair value.
f) Income Taxes
The Partnership is not required to provide for, or pay, any federal income
taxes. Net income or loss generated by the Partnership is passed through to the
partners and is required to be reported by them. The Partnership may be subject
to state and local taxes in jurisdictions in which it operates. For income tax
purposes, the Partnership has a fiscal year ending December 31 (Note 9).
g) Organization and Offering Costs
Costs incurred to organize the Partnership, including but not limited to legal,
accounting and registration fees, are considered organization expenses. These
costs were capitalized and amortized over a 60-month period. Pursuant to the
provisions of Statement of Position No. 98-5, "Reporting on the Cost of Start-Up
Activities", issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants,
the balance of the unamortized organization costs of approximately $101,000 was
expensed during the year ended March 31, 2000.
Costs incurred in connection with obtaining permanent mortgage financing are
amortized over the lives of the related mortgage notes. Costs incurred to sell
BACs, including brokerage fees and the nonaccountable expense allowance, are
considered selling and offering expenses. These costs are charged directly to
limited partners' capital.
h) Deferred Acquisition Costs
Acquisition costs and fees incurred in connection with the proposed purchase of
interests in certain subsidiary partnerships have been deferred. In the event
these partnerships are acquired, these amounts will be capitalized as property
costs. If the subsidiary partnerships are not acquired, these amounts will be
charged to operations.
-47-
<PAGE>
i) Loss Contingencies
The Partnership records loss contingencies as a charge to income when
information becomes available which indicates that it is probable that an asset
has been impaired or a liability has been incurred as of the date of the
financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
j) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results
could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that
value:
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND CASH HELD IN ESCROW
The carrying amount approximates fair value.
MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE
The fair value of mortgage notes payable and construction loans payable is
estimated, where practicable, based on the borrowing rate currently available
for similar loans.
The estimated fair values of the Partnership's mortgage notes payable and
construction loans payable are as follows:

respectively, have construction loan commitments totaling approximately
$4,503,000 and $12,561,000, respectively, with outstanding balances of
approximately $3,243,000 and $9,426,000, respectively.
NOTE 8 - Related Party Transactions
An affiliate of the General Partner has a .01% interest as a special limited
partner in each of the Local Partnerships.
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement and the Local Partnership Agreements, the
General Partner and affiliate receive their pro-rata share of profits, losses
and tax credits.
The General Partner and its affiliates perform services for the Partnership. The
costs incurred for the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:
A) Acquisition Fees
The General Partner is entitled to an acquisition fee equal to 6.0% of the gross
proceeds of the offering paid upon investor closings, for its services in
connection with assisting in the selection and evaluation of Local Partnerships,
in acquiring apartment complexes and supervising the construction of the
complexes. Such fees will be capitalized as a cost of the investments upon
closing of subsidiary partnerships acquisitions. As of both March 31, 2000 and
1999, $2,750,640 of such costs have been incurred, of which $1,770,677 have been
capitalized. The balance is included in deferred costs.
B) Guarantees
The Partnership has negotiated Development Deficit Guaranty Agreements with the
development stage Local Partnerships in which it has invested, two of which have
expired as of March
-51-
<PAGE>
31, 2000. The Local General Partners and/or their affiliates have agreed to fund
development deficits through the breakeven dates of each of the Local
Partnerships. Such guarantees are defined in their respective agreements and
generally there is no right of repayment to such Local General Partners. Amounts
received under Development Deficit Guaranty from the developers of the
properties purchased by the Partnership are treated as a reduction of the
carrying value of the respective assets.
The Partnership has negotiated Operating Deficit Guaranty Agreements with the
development stage Local Partnerships by which the general partners of such Local
Partnerships and/or their affiliates have agreed to fund operating deficits for
a specified period of time. The terms of the Operating Deficit Guaranty
Agreements vary for each of these Local Partnerships, with maximum dollar
amounts to be funded for a specified period of time, generally three years,
commencing on the break-even date. As of March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, the
gross amounts of the Operating Deficit Guarantees aggregate approximately
$3,331,700, $2,665,000 and $1,848,000, respectively, none of which have expired
as of March 31, 2000. All current Operating Deficit Guarantees expire within the
next three years. As of March 31, 2000, $0 has been funded under the Operating
Deficit Guaranty Agreements. Amounts funded under such agreements will be
treated as non-interest bearing loans, which will be paid only out of 50% of
available cash flow or out of available net sale or refinancing proceeds.
In addition, one Local Partnership has a Rent-Up Guaranty Agreement, in which
the Local General Partner agrees to pay liquidated damages if predetermined
occupancy rates are not achieved. The Local General Partner has agreed to fund
the Rent-Up Guaranty through the break-even date. As of March 31, 2000, the
remaining amount of this Rent-Up Guaranty for the Local Partnership aggregated
approximately $262,000 and it has not expired. There has not been any funding
under this guaranty agreement. Amounts received under the guaranty will be
treated as a reduction of the carrying value of the respective asset.
The Operating Deficit Guaranty Agreements, Rent-Up Guaranty Agreements, and
Development Deficit Guaranty Agreements are negotiated to protect the
Partnership's interest in the Local Partnerships and to provide incentives to
the Local General Partners to generate positive cash flow.

a) Uninsured Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnership and its subsidiary partnerships maintain their cash and cash
equivalents in various banks. The accounts at each bank are insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for up to $100,000. At March 31, 2000,
uninsured cash and cash equivalents approximated $3,134,000.
b) Leases
One subsidiary partnership is leasing the land on which the Project is located,
for a term of 65 years starting on July 14, 1982. At December 31, 1999, the
subsidiary partnership is obligated to pay rent of $1 per annum.
c) Other
The Partnership is subject to the risks incident to potential losses arising
from the management and ownership of improved real estate and poor economic
conditions.
The Partnership and BACs holders will begin to recognize Housing Tax Credits
with respect to a property when the credit period for such property commences.
Because of the time required
-55-
<PAGE>
for the acquisition, completion and rent-up of properties, it is expected that
the amount of Tax Credits per BAC will gradually increase over the first three
years of the Partnership. Housing Tax Credits not recognized in the first three
years will be recognized in the 11th through 13th years. The Partnership
generated $4,846,123, $2,659,921 and $1,267,926 of Housing Tax Credits and
$6,450,724, $0 and $0 Historic Tax Credits during the 1999, 1998 and 1997 tax
years, respectively.
