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").

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, 2002, 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, 2002, the Partnership has invested
approximately $37,814,000 (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 $1,829,000 remains to be paid to the Local Partnerships (including
approximately $741,000 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 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.

-3-

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 by the Partnership are expected to have active competition
from similar properties in their respective vicinities. 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, 2002, 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 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 .

-4-

Local Partnership Schedule
--------------------------

* Properties still in construction phase.
** Project substantially completed but no certificate of occupancy received.

-5-

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.

Housing Tax Credits with respect to a given Apartment Complex are available for
a ten-year period that commences when the property is rented to qualified
tenants. 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 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.

None

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, 2002, 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
re-

-6-

strictions 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 May 2, 2002, the Partnership has approximately 2,499 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,
2002. The Partnership does not anticipate providing cash distributions to its
BACs holders other than from net refinancing or sales proceeds.

In January 2001, affiliates of Everest Properties, Inc. ("Everest") conducted a
tender offer for up to 1,336.16 BACs. In connection with a prior tender offer
for BACs, an affiliate of the General Partner entered into a standstill
agreement dated as of April 23, 1997 (The "Standstill"), which precluded Everest
from independently soliciting BACs (by tender offer or otherwise). At Everest's
request, the General Partner caused its affiliate to release Everest from the
Standstill for the limited purpose of permitting Everest to make its tender
offer. In connection with such arrangements, Everest agreed to cover all of the
Partnership's expenses with respect to processing the tender offer including
mailing costs, legal fees and other administrative costs incurred by the
Partnership. These reimbursements resulted in aggregate payments to the
Partnership of $41,344 which are reflected as "other income" on the financial
statements for Fiscal Year 2000.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

The information set forth below presents selected financial data of the
Partnership. Additional financial information is set forth in the audited
financial statements in Item 8 hereof.

During the years ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, total assets decreased
approximately $2,176,000 and $5,446,000 due to depreciation and amortization and
a reduction in investments available for sale. During the years ended 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. For the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 total assets and
liabilities increased primarily due to the continued acquisition of Local
Partnerships. For the year ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, property and equipment
decreased approximately $1,376,000 and $1,152,000 primarily due to depreciation
expense, and for the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 property and
equipment increased approximately $28,900,000, $12,100,000 and $14,000,000,
respectively. During the years ended March 31, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998
mortgage notes increased approximately $79,000, $1,100,000, $5,000,000,
$1,400,000 and $8,100,000, respectively.

Cash Distributions

The Partnership has made no distributions to the BACs holders as of
March 31, 2002.

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, 2002, the Partnership has invested approximately $37,814,000
(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 $1,829,000 remains to be paid
to the Local Partnerships (including approximately $741,000 being held in
escrow) as certain benchmarks, such as occupancy level, are attained prior to
the release of the funds. During the year ended March 31, 2002, approximately
$669,000 was paid to Local Partnerships, including purchase price adjustments.
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 ($101,000) during the year ended March 31, 2002.

For the year ended March 31, 2002, cash and cash equivalents of the Partnership
and its fourteen consolidated Local Partnerships decreased approximately
($1,244,000) due to cash used in operating activities ($148,000), repayments of
mortgage loans ($467,000), acquisition of property and equipment ($1,082,000)
and an increase in escrow deposits relating to investing activities ($246,000)
which exceeded a net increase in due to local general partners and affiliates
relating to investing activities ($517,000) and an increase in capitalization of
consolidated subsidiaries attributable to minority interest ($181,000). Included
in the adjustments to reconcile the net loss to cash used in operations is
depreciation and amortization of approximately $2,548,000.

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
March 31, 2002, approximately $423,000 of this reserve 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, 2002, distributions from Local Partnerships amounted to
approximately $1,000. Management anticipates receiving distributions in the
future, although not to a level sufficient to permit providing cash
distributions to the BACs holders.

The Partnership had 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, 2002 and 2001, the gross
amounts of the Operating Deficit Guarantees aggregate approximately $2,659,000
and $3,332,000, respectively.

-10-

All current Operating Deficit Guarantees expire within the next two years. As of
March 31, 2002, 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.

Partnership management fees owed to the General Partner amounting to
approximately $955,000 and $720,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31, 2002
and 2001, 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 2002. Due
to increased market demand for investments in properties that were eligible to
receive tax credits at the time the Partnership was investing its capital 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,
management does not believe that the Partnership has been 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 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 determines 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, 2002, the Partnership has not recorded any loss on impairment
of assets or reductions to estimated fair value.

The net loss for the 2001, 2000 and 1999 Fiscal Years totaled $3,306,462,
$3,773,666 and $3,180,438, respectively.

-11-

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 $5,356,758, $5,506,354 and $4,846,123 of Housing Tax
Credits and $0, $0 and $6,450,724 Historic Tax Credits during the 2001, 2000 and
1999 tax years, respectively.

The Partnership's results of operations for the years ended March 31, 2002, 2001
and 2000 consisted primarily of the results of the Partnership's investment in
fourteen consolidated Local Partnerships. The majority of Local Partnership
income continues to be in the form of rental income with the corresponding
expenses being divided among operations, depreciation and mortgage interest.

2002 vs. 2001
- -------------
Rental income increased approximately 4% for the year ended March 31, 2002 as
compared to the corresponding period ended March 31, 2001, primarily due to
rental rate increases.

Other income decreased approximately $373,000 for the year ended March 31, 2002
as compared to the corresponding period ended March 31, 2001, primarily due to
the abatement of prior year's real estate tax at two Local Partnerships and a
decrease in interest earned on cash and cash equivalents due to smaller balances
at the Partnership level.

Total expenses, excluding general and administrative, repairs and maintenance,
operating and interest, remained fairly consistent with an increase of
approximately 1% for the year ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the
corresponding period ended March 31, 2001.

General and administrative decreased approximately $449,000 for the year ended
March 31, 2002 as compared to the corresponding period ended March 31, 2001,
primarily due to the elimination of development fees due to the completion of
the rehabilitation phase at one Local Partnership, reduced management fees at a
second Local Partnership and the reduction of legal expense due to no properties
being purchased at the Partnership level.

Repairs and maintenance increased approximately $164,000 for the year ended
March 31, 2002 as compared to the corresponding period ended March 31, 2001,
primarily due to an increase in security at one Local Partnership, interior
painting and leak repairs at a second Local Partnership and exterminating costs
at a third Local Partnership.

Operating increased approximately $82,000 for the year ended March 31, 2002 as
compared to the corresponding period ended March 31, 2001, primarily due to an
increase in utility cost and usage at three Local Partnerships and an
underaccrual in 2000 at a forth Local Partnership.

Interest decreased approximately $459,000 for the year ended March 31, 2002 as
compared to the corresponding period ended March 31, 2001, primarily due to the
conversion of construction loans to mortgages at two Local Partnerships,
underaccruals in 1999 at a third and fourth Local Partnership and a rate
reduction at a fifth Local Partnership.

2001 vs. 2000
- -------------
For the twelve months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the corresponding
period in 2000, all categories of income and expenses increased except for real
estate taxes which decreased approximately $79,000 primarily due to the reversal
of accrued taxes that were subsequently abated at one Local Partnership. The
results of operations are not comparable due to 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

-12-

will continue to decrease in future periods since a substantial portion of the
proceeds from the Offering will be included in or released to Local
Partnerships.

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 and Subsidiaries (a Delaware limited partnership) as of
March 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
changes in partners' capital and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2002,
2001 and 2000 (the 2001, 2000 and 1999 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 of thirteen, twelve and twelve subsidiary
partnerships (2001, 2000 and 1999 fiscal years), whose losses aggregated
$2,718,128, $3,049,692 and $2,675,329 for the years ended March 31, 2002, 2001
and 2000, respectively, and whose assets constituted 92% and 87% of consolidated
assets at March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. 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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and

INDEPENDENCE TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P. IV
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2002

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 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, 2002, 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.

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.
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 subsidiary partnerships for the years ended March 31, 2002, 2001
and 2000, 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.

-51-

INDEPENDENCE TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P. IV
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2002

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 $79,000, $46,000 and $25,000 for the years ended March
31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, 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) 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 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 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, 2002.

Through March 31, 2002, the Partnership has not recorded any loss on impairment
of assets or reductions to estimated fair value.

e) 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).

AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2002

f) 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 are expensed as incurred, 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.

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.

g) Deferred Acquisition Costs

Acquisition costs and fees incurred in connection with the purchase of interests
in certain subsidiary partnerships have been capitalized as property costs.

h) 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.

i) 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.

j) The FASB recently issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", that is applicable to financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The FASB's new rules
on asset impairment supersede SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of", and portions of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations".
This statement provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be
disposed of and significantly changes the criteria that would have to be met to
classify an asset as held-for-sale. Classification as held-for-sale is an
important distinction since such assets are not depreciated and are stated at
the lower of fair value or carrying amount. This statement also requires
expected future operating losses from discontinued operations to be displayed in
the period(s) in which the losses are incurred, rather than as of the
measurement date as presently required. The Company has not yet determined the
effect of this statement on its financial position or operating results.

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 due to the short-term maturity of
the instruments.

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:

(a) Management believes it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of
certain mortgage notes payable because mortgage programs with similar
characteristics are not currently available to each of the subsidiary
partnerships.

The carrying amount of other assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated
balance sheets that require such disclosure approximates fair value.

Due to General Partner and Affiliates and Due to Local General Partners and
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Affiliates
- ----------
Management believes it is not practical to estimate the fair value of due to
general partner and affiliates and due to local general partners and affiliates
because market information on such unique loans are not currently available.

after payment of all Partnership expenses, which together with the annual local
administrative fees will not exceed a maximum of 0.5% per annum of invested
assets (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), for administering the affairs

management fee will be determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion
based upon its review of the Partnership's investments. Unpaid partnership

ration for up to $100,000. At March 31, 2002, uninsured cash and cash
equivalents at various banking institutions approximated $2,951,000.

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, 2001, 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 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 $5,356,758, $5,506,354 and $4,846,123 of
Housing Tax Credits and $0, $0 and $6,450,724 Historic Tax Credits during the
2001, 2000 and 1999 tax years, respectively. The Housing Tax Credits expire at
various times ending in 2009.
