was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware as of June 1,
1988, for the
purpose of acquiring, holding, and disposing of limited
partnership interests
in operating partnerships which have acquired, developed,
rehabilitated,
operate and own newly constructed, existing or rehabilitated
low-income
apartment complexes  ("Operating Partnerships").  On August 22,
1988, American
Affordable Housing VI Limited Partnership changed its name to
Boston Capital
Tax Credit Fund Limited Partnership.  The general partner of the
Partnership
is Boston Capital Associates Limited Partnership and the limited
partner is
BCTC Assignor Corp. (the "Assignor Limited Partner").

    Pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, the Partnership filed
a Form S-11
Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, effective
August 29, 1988, which covered the offering (the "Public
Offering") of the
Partnership's beneficial assignee certificates ("BACs")
representing
assignments of units of the beneficial interest of the limited
partnership
interest of the Assignor Limited Partner.  The Partnership
registered
10,000,000 BACs at $10 per BAC for sale to the public in six
series.  Offers
and sales of BACs in Series 1 through Series 6 of the Partnership
were
completed and the last of the BACs in Series 6 were issued by the
Partnership
on September 29, 1989.  The Partnership sold 1,299,900 of Series
1 BACs,
830,300 of Series 2 BACs, 2,882,200 of Series 3 BACs, 2,995,300
of Series 4
BACs, 489,900 of Series 5 BACs and 1,303,000 of Series 6 BACs.
The
Partnership is no longer offering and does not intend to offer
any additional
BACs.

NOTE E - TAXABLE LOSS

        The Partnership's taxable loss for the fiscal year ended
March
31, 1998 is expected to differ from its loss for financial
reporting
purposes.  This is primarily due to accounting differences in
depreciation
incurred by the Operating Partnerships and also differences
between the equity
method of accounting and the IRS accounting methods.  No
provision or benefit
for income taxes has been included in these financial statements
since taxable
income or loss passes through to, and is reportable by, the
partners and
assignees individually.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and
   Results of Operations

Liquidity
---------
    The Partnership's primary source of funds was the proceeds of
its
Public Offering.  Other sources of liquidity include (i) interest
earned on
working capital reserves, and (ii) cash distributions from the
Operating
Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested.  These
sources of
liquidity are available to meet the obligations of the
Partnership.

    The Partnership is currently accruing the annual partnership
management
fee.  Partnership management fees accrued during the quarter
ended December
31, 1997 were $238,677 and total partnership management fees
accrued as of
December 31, 1997 were $5,252,089. Pursuant to the Partnership
Agreement,
such liabilities will be deferred until the Partnership receives
sales or
refinancing proceeds from Operating Partnerships, which will be
used to
satisfy such liabilities.

    An affiliate of the general partner has advanced $182,250 to
the
Partnership to pay certain third party operating expenses.  None
of the funds
were advanced in the quarter ended December 31, 1997. The amounts
advanced to four of the six series as are as follows:  $40,000 to
Series 1;
$25,000 to Series 2; $94,250 to Series 3; and $23,000 to Series
4.  These and
any additional advances will be paid, without interest, from
available cash
flow, reporting fees, or the proceeds of sales or refinancing of
the
Partnership's interests in Operating Partnerships.  The
Partnership
anticipates that as the Operating Partnerships continue to
mature, more cash
flow and reporting fees will be generated.  Cash flow and
reporting fees will be added to the Partnership's working capital
and will be available to meet future third party obligation of
the Partnership.  The Partnership is currently pursuing, and will
continue to pursue, available cash flow and reporting fees and
anticipates that the amount collected will be sufficient to cover
third party operating expenses.

Results of Operations
---------------------

    At December 31, 1997 and 1996 the Partnership held limited
partnership
interests in 105 Operating Partnerships.  In each instance the
Apartment
Complex owned by the applicable Operating Partnership is eligible
for the
Federal Housing Tax Credit.  Occupancy of a unit in each
Apartment Complex
which initially complied with the Minimum Set-Aside Test (i.e.,
occupancy by
tenants with incomes equal to no more than a certain percentage
of area median
income) and the Rent Restriction Test(i.e., gross rent charged
tenants does
not exceed 30% of the applicable income standards) is referred to
hereinafter
as "Qualified Occupancy."  Each of the Operating Partnerships and
each of the
respective Apartment Complexes are described more fully in the
Prospectus or
applicable report on Form 8-K.  The General Partner believes that
there is
adequate casualty insurance on the properties.

    The Partnership incurs an annual partnership management fee
to the General
Partner and/or its affiliates in an amount equal to 0.375% of the
aggregate
cost of the Apartment Complexes owned by the Operating
Partnerships, less the
amount of certain partnership management and reporting fees paid
by
the Operating Partnerships.  The annual partnership management
fee is
currently being accrued.  It is anticipated that all outstanding
fees
will be repaid from the sale or refinancing proceeds.  The annual
partnership
management fee charged to operations for the quarters ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996 were $223,203 and $233,581,
respectively.  This amount is anticipated to be lower in
subsequent fiscal years as more of the Operating Partnerships
begin to pay annual asset management fees and reporting fees to
the series.

                                    44
    The Partnership's investment objectives do not include
receipt of
significant cash distributions from the Operating Partnerships in
which it has
invested.  The Partnership's investments in Operating
Partnerships have been
made principally with a view towards realization of Federal
Housing Tax
Credits for allocation to its partners and BAC holders.  The
Results of
Operations reported herein are interim period estimates that may
not
necessarily be indicative of final year end results.

    Series 1.
    ---------  As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, the average
Qualified
Occupancy for the series was 99.7% and 99.4%, respectively.  The
series had a
total of 19 properties at September 30, 1997.  Out of the total,
18 were at
100% Qualified Occupancy.

    For the nine months being reported, the series reflects a net
loss from
Operating Partnerships of $1,414,290.  When adjusted for
depreciation, which
is a non-cash item, the Operating Partnerships reflect a net loss
of $130,782.
Substantially all of the net loss for both years is attributable
to accrued
mortgage interest not payable currently by Kingston Property
Associates,
Genesee Commons Associates, and Unity Park Associates.  All three
partnerships have closed on mortgages which require minimum debt
service
payments, the funds from which are being utilized exclusively for
completing structural repairs and upgrades.  The Operating
General Partners
have continued to fund the majority of the balance of the net
loss.

    The properties owned by Townhomes of Minnehaha Court and
Virginia
Circle are experiencing high operating expenses which are
resulting in
operating deficits.  The respective management companies are
implementing
cost saving measures to mitigate these deficits and stabilize the
properties operations.

    Series 2.
    ---------  As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, the average
Qualified
Occupancy for the series was 100% and 99.8%, respectively.  The
series had a
total of eight properties at December 31, 1997, all of which were
at 100%
Qualified Occupancy.

    For the nine months being reported the series reflects a net
loss
from the Operating Partnerships of $447,951.  When adjusted for
depreciation,
which is a non-cash item, the Operating Partnerships reflect a
net loss of
$208,120.

 Annadale Housing Partners has reported net losses due to
operational issues associated with the property.  The property
continues to suffer from operating deficits.  Its is hoped with a
more stabilized occupancy, increase in rents, and reduction in
operation costs, the deficits can be minimized.  The Operating
Partnership continues to stabilize since the completion of

      The General Partner is continuing to monitor the operations
of Lincoln
Hotel Associates in an effort to improve the overall results of
operations
of the series.  The new management company of Lincoln Hotel has
secured a
100% project based subsidy and housing stabilization funds from
the
Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development.
The
increased income afforded under the favorable subsidy contract
should
allow for a stabilization of the project's net operating income.
The
subsidy will also increase affordability for prospective tenants
thereby
increasing occupancy percentages.  The Housing Stabilization
Funds will
be used to rehabilitate the property.

      The property owned by California Investors VI, L.P. has
experienced
a reduction in occupancy, which stands at 82% at December 31,

implementing capital improvements to the property to attract
tenants.
These efforts should improve occupancy and stabilize the
property.

improvements to the tenant base and occupancy which stands at 94%
at
December 31, 1997, however, the property is still generating
operating
deficits.  As such, the management company is implementing cost
saving
measures to mitigate these deficits and stabilize the property.

further improve the financial condition of the partnership, the
General
Partner has initiated discussions with the first mortgage holder
to
refinance the debt.

the terms of


                               46


its mortgage.  Unity Park Associates has closed on a second
mortgage, the
funds from which are being utilized exclusively for completing
structural
repairs and upgrades. The Operating General Partners have
continued to fund
the majority of the balance of the net loss.

     The new Operating General Partner has discovered that there
are
delinquent real estate taxes on the property owned by Van Dyke
Estates
XVI.  These taxes are being paid resulting in operating deficits.

new Operating General Partner believes that once these taxes have
been
paid operating deficits will be minimal.

operational issues associated with the property.  The property
continues to suffer from operating deficits.  Its is hoped with a
more stabilized occupancy, increase in rents, and reduction in
operation costs, the deficits can be minimized.  The Operating
Partnership continues to stabilize since the completion of
rehabilitation and occupancy has shown steady improvement.
Occupancy is at 95% as of December 31, 1997.  The property owned
by Glenhaven Park Partners is experiencing high operating
expenses which are resulting in operating deficits.  The
management company is implementing cost saving measures to
mitigate these deficits and stabilize the property's operations.
