 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”).  Centerline Holding Company (“Centerline”) is the ultimate parent of Centerline Affordable Housing Advisors LLC (“CAHA”), the managing member of the General Partner.
  The Partnership’s initial business was to invest in other partnerships (“Local Partnerships”, “subsidiaries” or “subsidiary partnerships”) owning leveraged apartment complexes (“Apartment Complexes” or “Properties”) that are eligible for the low-income housing tax credit (“Tax Credit”) enacted in the Tax Reform Act of 1986, some of which may also be eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax credit.  As of March 31, 2011, the Partnership had originally invested approximately $37,555,000 (not including acquisition fees of approximately $1,771,000) of the net proceeds of the Offering in fourteen Local Partnerships of which approximately $794,000 remains to be paid to the Local Partnerships (including approximately $338,000 being held in escrow) as certain benchmarks, such as occupancy level, are attained prior to the release of the funds. The Partnership does not intend to acquire interests in additional Local Partnerships, but the Partnership may be required to fund potential purchase price adjustments based on tax credit adjustor clauses.  The Partnership is currently invested in twelve Local 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.  See Item 2, Properties, below.
  The Partnership is currently in the process of developing a plan to dispose of all of its investments.  It is anticipated that this process will continue to take a number of years.  As of March 31, 2011, the Partnership has sold its limited partnership interest in one Local Partnership and the property and the related assets and liabilities of another Local Partnership.  There can be no assurance as to when the Partnership will dispose of its remaining investments or the amount of proceeds which may be received.  However, based on the historical operating results of the Local Partnerships and the current economic conditions, including changes in tax laws, it is unlikely that the proceeds from such sales received by the Partnership will be sufficient to return to the limited partners their original investments.
  The investment objectives of the Partnership are described below:
  1.
Entitle qualified Beneficial Assignment Certificates (“BAC”s) holders to 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.
  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 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 during the 15-year period commencing at the beginning of the Credit Period (“Compliance Period”).  As of December 31, 2010, all the Local Partnerships had completed their Credit Periods.  However, each Local Partnership must continue to comply with the Tax Credit requirements until the end of the Compliance Period in order to avoid recapture of the Tax Credits.  The Compliance Periods will continue through December 31, 2015 with respect to the Properties depending upon when the Compliance Period commenced.
  There can be no assurance that the Partnership will achieve its investment objectives, as described above, and it is unlikely that the Partnership will meet objectives 2 and 3, also as noted 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.
  The Partnership complies with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment(“ASC 360”).  Impairment of assets is a two-step process.  First, management estimates amounts recoverable through future operations and sale of the Property on an undiscounted basis.  If such estimates are below depreciated cost, Property investments themselves are reduced to estimated fair value (generally using the discounted cash flow valuation method).  During the year ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership recorded approximately $2,921,000 as a loss on impairment of assets.  Through March 31, 2011, the Partnership has recorded approximately $27,947,000 as an aggregate loss on impairment of assets.
  Assets Held for Sale
  On August 23, 2010, the Partnership had entered into assignment and assumption agreements to sell its limited partnership interest in (i) Figueroa Senior Housing Limited Partnership (“Figueroa”) to an unaffiliated third party purchaser for the sale price of $10,000 and (ii) NNPHI Senior Housing Limited Partnership (“Normandie”) to an unaffiliated third party purchaser for a sales price of $20,000.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, negotiations fell through on both contracts and they are no longer under contract for sale.  Management has determined that the sale of these two properties will not be likely in the near future, and as such, they have been reclassified from discontinued operations into continuing operations.
      - 2 -
    Segments
  The Partnership operates in one segment, which is the investment in multi-family residential property.  Financial information about this segment is set forth in Item 8 herein.
  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 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 for 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 1A.  Risk Factors.
  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 Apartment 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 the Department of Housing and Urban Development (“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.
  Item 1B.  Unresolved Staff Comments.
  Not applicable.
      - 3 -
    Item 2.  Properties.
  Except for its interest in New Zion Apartments, L.P. (“New Zion”), the Partnership’s investment in each of the remaining twelve Local Partnerships 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 Local General Partner and to approve certain major operating and financial decisions, the Partnership has a controlling financial interest in all of the Local Partnerships in which 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 15. Schedule III.

The property and the related assets and liabilities were sold during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 (see Note 10 in Item 8).
 (b)
The Partnership’s limited partnership interest was sold during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 (see Note 10 in Item 8).
 
 Leases are generally for periods not greater than one to two years and no tenant occupies more than 10% of the total rentable square footage in any single Apartment Complex.
  Management continuously reviews the physical state of the properties and suggests to the Local General Partners budget improvements which are generally funded from cash flow from operations or release of replacement reserve escrows.
      - 4 -
    Management periodically 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 included herein.
  Tax Credits with respect to a given Apartment Complex were available for a ten-year period that commenced when the Property was rented to qualified tenants.  However, the annual Tax Credits available in the year in which the Apartment Complex was placed in service were prorated based upon the months remaining in the year.  The amount of the annual Tax Credit not available in the first year was 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 was 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 were not available to the Partnership.

    PART II
    Item 5.  Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
  As of March 31, 2011, 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 has imposed 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 May 25, 2011, the Partnership has approximately 2,523 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.
  The Partnership has made no distributions to the BACs holders as of March 31, 2011.  There are no material legal restrictions in the Partnership Agreement on the ability of the Partnership to make distributions.  However, the Partnership does not anticipate providing cash distributions to its BACs holders other than from net refinancing or sales proceeds.
  Transfer Procedures
  The Partnership from time to time receives requests by unit holders and others to transfer BACs and/or limited partnership interests.  Such requests may occur in connection with tender offers for the Partnership’s units.  Such requests implicate the Partnership’s policies and procedures concerning transfers generally and tender offers in particular, which were adopted by the Partnership pursuant to the terms of its Partnership Agreement, to ensure compliance with applicable law, avoid adverse tax consequences for the Partnership and its investors, and preserve the Partnership’s advantageous tax status.
  The Partnership relies on a 2% safe harbor established by an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regulation to avoid being characterized as a “publicly-traded partnership” that is taxed as a corporation.
  A brief summary of certain of the Partnership’s key policies, practices and requirements with respect to transfers and tender offers is as follows:
  ·
No transfer (whether for substitution, assignment or otherwise) is effective or binding on the Partnership unless and until it is approved by the General Partner.
  ·
No transfer will be approved unless the transferor and transferee submit complete and properly executed forms of the Partnership’s own transfer documentation.  The Partnership does not accept forms of transfer documentation other than its own and does not accept signatures made by power of attorney in lieu of original signatures by each of the transferors and transferees.
  ·
The Partnership will not approve transfers that in the cumulative aggregate for any tax year exceed the IRS 2% safe harbor, unless a financially responsible person provides the Partnership and its partners with (i) an indemnity (in form and substance in all ways acceptable to the General Partner) for all liability (including, without limitation, any adverse tax consequences) arising from or relating to exceeding the 2% safe harbor and (ii) a legal opinion (in form and substance in all ways acceptable to the General Partner) that there will be no adverse tax consequences to the Partnership and its partners from exceeding the 2% safe harbor.
  ·
It order to avoid the undesirable situation of one or more tender offers consuming the entire safe harbor limitation early in the tax year and leaving the Partnership’s remaining investors with no liquidity opportunity for the rest of that tax year, the Partnership restricts the cumulative aggregate total of transfers made pursuant to all tender offers to 1.5% of its outstanding units in each tax year, unless a financially responsible person conducting such tender offer provides the Partnership with an acceptable indemnity and legal opinion of the type described above.  At the end of each tax year, the General Partner, in its discretion, may allow the cumulative total number of transfers (including those by tender offer) to reach the 2% safe harbor limit.
  ·
The Partnership requires that all tender offers for its units be conducted in accordance with all applicable law including, without limitation, the federal securities laws.
  The foregoing is solely a summary of the Partnership’s policies, requirements and practices with respect to transfers and tender offers.  More complete information, including a copy of the Partnership’s transfer documentation package, may be obtained from the Partnership.
  Item 6.  Selected Financial Data.
  Not applicable.
      - 6 -
    Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
  Liquidity and Capital Resources
  The Partnership originally invested approximately $37,555,000 (not including acquisition fees of approximately $1,771,000) of the net proceeds of the Offering in fourteen Local Partnerships, of which approximately $794,000 remains to be paid to the Local Partnerships (including approximately $338,000 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, 2011, approximately $3,000 was paid to Local Partnerships.  The Partnership does not anticipate acquiring additional properties, but the Partnership may be required to fund potential purchase price adjustments based on tax credit adjustor clauses. There were no such adjustments made during the year ended March 31, 2011.
  The Partnership is currently in the process of developing a plan to dispose of all of its investments.  It is anticipated that this process will continue to take a number of years.  As of March 31, 2011, the Partnership has sold its limited partnership interest in one Local Partnership and the property and the related assets and liabilities of another Local Partnership.  There can be no assurance as to when the Partnership will dispose of its remaining investments or the amount of proceeds which may be received.  However, based on the historical operating results of the Local Partnerships and the current economic conditions, including changes in tax laws, it is unlikely that the proceeds from such sales received by the Partnership will be sufficient to return to the limited partners their original investments.
  Short-Term
  The Partnership’s primary sources of funds include:  (i) working capital reserves; (ii) interest earned on the working capital reserves; (iii) cash distributions from operations of the Local Partnerships; and (iv) sales proceeds and distributions.  Such funds, although minimal (other than possible sales proceeds and sales distributions), are available to meet the obligations of the Partnership.  The Partnership does not anticipate providing cash distributions to BACs holders in circumstances other than refinancing or sales.  During the year ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, distributions from operations of the Local Partnerships amounted to approximately $7,000 and $5,000, respectively.  In addition, during the year ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, refinancing proceeds amounted to approximately $518,000 and $0, respectively.
 For the year ended March 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents of the Partnership and its consolidated Local Partnerships increased approximately $226,000.  This increase was due to proceeds from a refinanced mortgage note of $3,050,000 and net repayments from local general partners and affiliates of approximately $218,000, which exceeded net cash used in operating activities of approximately $479,000, repayment of mortgage notes of approximately $1,941,000, an increase in deferred costs of approximately $167,000, an increase in cash held in escrow relating to investing activities of approximately $54,000, acquisition of property and equipment of approximately $70,000 and a distribution to noncontrolling interests of approximately $330,000.  Included in the adjustments to reconcile the net loss to net cash used in operating activities is depreciation and amortization in the amount of approximately $1,127,000 and loss on impairment of asset of approximately $2,921,000.
 Total expenses for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, excluding depreciation and amortization, interest, general and administrative – related parties, and loss on impairment of asset, totaled $3,548,074 and $3,622,571, respectively.
  Accounts payable arising from operations totaled $443,014 and $554,586 as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Accounts payable are short term liabilities which are expected to be paid from operating cash flows, working capital balances at the Local Partnership level, Local General Partner advances and, in certain circumstances, advances from the Partnership.  Accrued interest payable as of March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $6,210,704 and $6,474,837, respectively.  Accrued interest payable represents the accrued interest on all mortgage loans, which include primary and secondary loans. Certain secondary loans have provisions such that interest is accrued but not payable until a future date.  The Partnership anticipates the payment of accrued interest on the secondary loans (which make up the majority of the accrued interest payable amount and which has been accumulating since the Partnership’s investment in the respective Local Partnership) will be made from future refinancings or sales proceeds of the respective Local Partnerships.  Furthermore, each Local Partnership’s mortgage notes are collateralized by the land and buildings of the respective Local Partnership, and are without further recourse to the Partnership.
  The Partnership believes it (and the applicable Local Partnerships) has sufficient liquidity and ability to generate cash and to meet existing and known or reasonably likely future cash requirements over both the short and long term not including fees owed to the General Partner.  However, assuming the General Partner continues to defer the payment of fees as discussed below and in Note 8 to the Financial Statements in Item 8, the Partnership believes it has sufficient liquidity and ability to generate cash and to meet existing and known or reasonably likely future cash requirements over both the short and long term.
  Security deposits payable to tenants are offset by cash held in security deposits, which are included in “Cash held in escrow” on the financial statements.
  At March 31, 2011, there is approximately $353,000 in working capital reserves.  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 not including fees owed to the General Partner.
  On August 24, 2010, GP Kaneohe Limited Partnership (“Kaneohe”), a subsidiary partnership, entered into an interest rate swap agreement with the Bank as a prerequisite for obtaining refinancing on its original mortgage note payable in the amount of $2,297,000.  The agreement provides a fixed rate of 4.65% that was exchanged for a floating rate of 3.75% on the notional amount of $3,050,000.  The swap contract became effective September 1, 2010 and terminates September 1, 2015.  The fair value of the interest rate cap agreement as of December 31, 2010 was approximately $7,000, for which it could be settled based on estimates obtained from the financial institution.  Counterparty risk represents the risk of loss from nonperformance by financial counterparties to a contract.  Interest rate swap can result in exposure to credit risks in the event of default by a counterparty.  The current financial crisis affecting the global banking systems and financial markets has resulted in many financial institutions becoming less creditworthy or having diminished liquidity.  Thus, the Partnership could be exposed to an increased level of counterparty risk and could incur financial losses.
      - 7 -
    The Partnership negotiated Operating Deficit Guaranty Agreements with the Local Partnerships by which the general partners of such Local Partnerships and/or their affiliates 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 both March 31, 2011 and 2010, the gross amount of the Operating Deficit Guarantees aggregate approximately $123,000.  As of both March 31, 2011 and 2010, no amounts have 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.
  Long-Term
  Partnership management fees owed to the General Partner amounting to approximately $2,138,000 and $1,847,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and are included in the line item Due to general partner and affiliates in the consolidated balance sheets.  Unpaid partnership management fees for any year are to be deferred without interest and will be payable out of sales or refinancing proceeds only to the extent of available funds after payments on all Partnership liabilities have been made other than to those owed to the General Partner and its affiliates.
  All other payables are expected to be paid, if at all, from working capital reserves.  The General Partner does not anticipate making any future advances of operating funds to any of the Local Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested.  Even if a situation arose where the General Partner and its affiliates needed to but were not able to make operating advances in the future due to lack of funds, the only impact on the Partnership would be that it would lose its investment in that particular Local Partnership.  The Partnership’s ability to continue its operations would not be affected.
  Based on the foregoing, the Partnership’s liquidity consideration is mitigated by factors as discussed in Note 14 in Item 8.
  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. Furthermore, inflation generally does not impact the fixed long-term financing under which real property investments were purchased. Inflation also affects the Local Partnerships adversely by increasing operating costs, such as fuel, utilities, and labor.  Since revenues from sales of assets are driven by market conditions, inflation has little impact on sales.
  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 is 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.  As of December 31, 2010, the Credit Periods have expired.  However, each Local Partnership must continue to comply with the Tax Credit requirements until the end of the Compliance Period in order to avoid recapture of the Tax Credits.  The Compliance Periods expired with respect to the two Properties that have been sold but will continue through December 31, 2015 with respect to the remaining Properties depending upon when the Compliance Period commenced.
  Sale of Underlying Properties/Local Partnership Interests
  For a discussion of the sale of properties in which the Partnership owns direct and indirect interests, see Note 10 in Item 8.
  Discontinued Operations
  The Partnership is currently in the process of developing a plan to dispose of all of its investments.  Any dispositions would meet the criteria established for recognition as a discontinued operation under ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment(“ASC 360”), which specifically requires that such amounts must differentiate a component of a business comprised of operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity.  There are no assets classified as property and equipment-held for sale at March 31, 2011.
  Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations

    Critical Accounting Policies
  In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Set forth below is a summary of the accounting policies that management believes are critical to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
  Property and Equipment/Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
  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.  The determination of asset impairment is a two-step process.  First, management estimates amounts recoverable through future operations and sale of the property on an undiscounted basis.  If such estimates are below depreciated cost, property investments are reduced to estimated fair value (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 at March 31, 2011.
  Fair Value Measurements
  The estimated fair value of mortgage notes payable, accrued interest and the interest rate swap have been determined using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies.  However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value.  Consequently, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange.
  Fair value for the mortgage notes and accrued interest have been estimated using Level 3 inputs.  Fair value for interest rate swap has been estimated using Level 2 inputs.  The carrying amount of accounts payable and other liabilities and other assets approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.
  Revenue Recognition
  Rental income is earned under standard residential operating leases and is typically due the first day of each month, but can vary by property due to the terms of the tenant leases.  Rental payments received in advance of the due date are deferred until earned.  Rental subsidies are recognized as rental income during the month in which it is earned.
  Other revenues are recorded when earned and consist of the following items:  Interest income earned on cash and cash equivalent balances and cash held in escrow balances, income from forfeited security deposits, late charges, laundry and vending income and other rental related items (see Item 8, Note 2e).
  Related Parties
  Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership has entered into certain arrangements with the General Partner and its affiliates, which provide for compensation to be paid to the General Partner and its affiliates. Such arrangements include (but are not limited to) agreements to pay annual Partnership management fees, nonrecurring acquisition fees, a nonaccountable acquisition expense allowance, an accountable expense reimbursement and subordinated disposition fees to the General Partner and/or its affiliates. In addition, the General Partner is entitled to a subordinated interest in cash from sales or refinancings and a 1% interest in net income, net loss, distributions of adjusted cash from operations and cash from sales or refinancings.  Certain members and officers of the General Partner receive compensation from the General Partner and its affiliates for services performed for various affiliated entities which may include services performed for the Partnership. The maximum annual partnership management fee paid to the General Partner is 0.5% of invested assets. See Note 8 in Item 8, which is incorporated herein by reference.
  Recent Accounting Pronouncements
  In May 2011,the FASB issued under Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”.The amendments in this ASU result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  For many of the requirements, the Board does not intend for amendments in this ASU to result in a change in the application of the requirements in Topic 820.  The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively.  For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this accounting standard will not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.

    Results of Operations
  The majority of the Local Partnerships’ income continues to be in the form of rental income, with the corresponding expenses being divided among operations, depreciation and mortgage interest.  The following is a summary of the results of operations of the Partnership for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
  The net loss for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 totaled $4,343,718 and $15,237,441, respectively.
  The Partnership and BACs holders began recognizing 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.  Tax Credits not recognized in the first three years were recognized in the 11th through 13th years.  The Partnership generated $69,006 and $945,893 of Tax Credits during each of the 2010 and 2009 tax years, respectively.
  2011 vs. 2010
  Rental income increased approximately 1% for the year ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the corresponding period ended March 31, 2010, primarily due to rental rate increases at several Local Partnerships offset by increases in vacancy at two Local Partnerships.
  Other income increased approximately $131,000 for the year ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the corresponding period in 2010, primarily due to a settlement received from a class action suit at one Local Partnership and an adjustment on accrued interest expense from a long term debt at a second Local Partnership.
  Repairs and maintenance expense decreased approximately $166,000 for the year ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the corresponding period in 2010, primarily due to a decrease in painting and decorating costs and HVAC repairs at one Local Partnership, a decrease in flooring replacement costs and HVAC repairs at a second Local Partnership, decreases in repair contracts at a third Local Partnership, and a decrease in grounds contracts and sprinkler system repair costs at a fourth Local Partnership.
  Taxes increased approximately $30,000 for the year ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the corresponding period in 2010, primarily due to a completion of real estate tax abatement at one Local Partnership and a tax credit received in the prior year at a second Local Partnership.
  Total expenses, excluding repairs and maintenance, real estate taxes, depreciation and amortization and loss on impairment of asset, remained fairly consistent with an increase of approximately 1% for the year ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the corresponding period ended March 31, 2010.
  Depreciation and amortization decreased approximately $592,000 for the year ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the corresponding period in 2010, primarily due to the reduction in carrying amounts relating to impairment of assets.
  Loss on impairment of fixed assets amounted to approximately $2,921,000 and $12,993,000 for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  See Note 4 in Item 8 for detailed discussion on impairments.
  Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
  Mortgage notes are payable in aggregate monthly installments including principal and interest at rates varying from 0% to 8.46% per annum.  The Partnership does not believe there is a material risk associated with the various interest rates associated with the mortgage notes as the majority of the Local Partnership mortgage notes have fixed rates.  The Partnership currently discloses in Item 8, Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the fair value of the mortgage notes payable.
  On August 24, 2010, GP Kaneohe Limited Partnership (“Kaneohe”), a subsidiary partnership, entered into an interest rate swap agreement with the Bank as a prerequisite for obtaining refinancing on its original mortgage note payable in the amount of $2,297,000.  The agreement provides a fixed rate of 4.65% that was exchanged for a floating rate of 3.75% on the notional amount of $3,050,000.  The swap contract became effective September 1, 2010 and terminates September 1, 2015.  The fair value of the interest rate cap agreement as of December 31, 2010 was approximately $7,000 (a reduction of mortgage liability), based on estimates obtained from the financial institution.  Counterparty risk represents the risk of loss from nonperformance by financial counterparties to a contract.  Interest rate swap can result in exposure to credit risks in the event of default by a counterparty.  The current financial crisis affecting the global banking systems and financial markets has resulted in many financial institutions becoming less creditworthy or having diminished liquidity.  Thus, the Partnership could be exposed to an increased level of counterparty risk and could incur financial losses.
 The Partnership does not have any other market risk sensitive instruments.
  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 Apartment 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.
      - 10 -
    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. Furthermore, inflation generally does not impact the fixed long-term financing under which real property investments were purchased.  Inflation also affects the Local Partnerships adversely by increasing operating costs, for example, for such items as fuel, utilities and labor.  However, continued inflation may result in appreciated values of the Local Partnership’s apartment complexes over a period of time as rental revenues and replacement costs continue to increase.

 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, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners’ capital (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2011.  These consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements of five and seven subsidiary partnerships, whose losses aggregated $1,320,070 and $11,858,536 for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and whose assets constituted 53% and 59% of consolidated assets at March 31, 2011 and 2010, 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Partnership is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  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 statements 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, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years ended in the two-year period ended March 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
 To the Partners
 Bakery Village Urban Renewal Associates, L.P.
 
 We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Bakery Village Urban Renewal Associates, L.P. as of December 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations, changes in partners' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit.
 
 We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The partnership has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the partnership's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
 In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bakery Village Urban Renewal Associates, L.P. as of December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations, the changes in its partners' equity (deficit) and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 INDEPENDENCE TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P. IV
 AND SUBSIDIARIES
 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 MARCH 31, 2011 and 2010
    NOTE 1 – General
  Independence Tax Credit Plus L.P. IV (a Delaware limited partnership) (the “Partnership”) was organized on February 22, 1995.  The general partner of the Partnership is Related Independence L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “General Partner”).  Centerline Holding Company (“Centerline”) is the ultimate parent of Centerline Affordable Housing Advisors LLC (“CAHA”), the managing member of the General Partner.
  The Partnership’s business is primarily to invest in other partnerships (“Local Partnerships,” “subsidiaries” or “subsidiary partnerships”) owning leveraged apartment complexes (“Apartment Complexes” or “Properties”) that are eligible for the low-income housing tax credit (“Tax Credit”) enacted in the Tax Reform Act of 1986, some of which may also be eligible for the historic rehabilitation tax credit.  Qualified Beneficial Assignment Certificates (“BACs”) holders are entitled to 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 placed in service; referred to herein as the “Credit Period”) with respect to each Apartment Complex.
  The Partnership had originally acquired limited partnership interests in fourteen subsidiary partnerships, all of which have been, or were, 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 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
  b)  Basis of Consolidation
  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its subsidiary partnerships for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, 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 (the “Local General Partner”) 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.
  In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“ASC 810”), (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests amounted to approximately $(6,000) and $30,000 for the year ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The Partnership’s investment in each subsidiary is equal to the respective subsidiary’s partners’ equity less noncontrolling interest capital, if any.
  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.  The determination of asset impairment is a two-step process.  First, management estimates amounts recoverable through future operations and sale of the property on an undiscounted basis.  If such estimates are below depreciated cost, property investments are reduced to estimated fair value (using estimated future discounted net cash flows) when the property is considered to be impaired and the depreciated cost exceeds estimated fair value.
      - 30 -
 INDEPENDENCE TAX CREDIT PLUS L.P. IV
 AND SUBSIDIARIES
 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 MARCH 31, 2011 and 2010
    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 at March 31, 2011.
  e)  Revenue Recognition
  Rental income is earned under standard residential operating leases and is typically due the first day of each month, but can vary by property due to the terms of the tenant leases.  Rental payments received in advance of the due date are deferred until earned.  Rental subsidies are recognized as rental income during the month in which it is earned.
  Other revenues are recorded when earned and consist of the following items:  Interest income earned on cash and cash equivalent balances and cash held in escrow balances, income from forfeited security deposits, late charges, laundry and vending income and other rental related items.
  f)  Income Taxes
  The Partnership is not a tax paying entity for income tax purposes and, accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes.  The Partnership may be subject to state and local taxes in jurisdictions in which it operates.
  The Partnership has no material liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no material change to the beginning partner’s capital of the Partnership. As of and during the year ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits or related interest and penalties.
  The Partnership relies on a 2% safe harbor established by an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regulation to avoid being characterized as a “publicly-traded partnership” that is taxed as a corporation.
  Income tax returns for the year prior to 2007 are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities.
  g)  Mortgage Financing and Offering Costs
  Costs incurred in connection with obtaining permanent mortgage financing are capitalized and 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 Costs
  Deferred costs and fees incurred in connection with the purchase of interests in certain subsidiary partnerships have been capitalized as property costs and are being amortized over the lives of the related properties.
  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 consolidated financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
  j)  Use of Estimates
  The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
  k)  Recent Accounting Pronouncements
  In May 2011,the FASB issued under Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”.The amendments in this ASU result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  For many of the requirements, the Board does not intend for amendments in this ASU to result in a change in the application of the requirements in Topic 820.  The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively.  For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this accounting standard will not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.

 AND SUBSIDIARIES
 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 MARCH 31, 2011 and 2010
    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 (all of which are held for nontrading purposes) for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
  Cash and Cash Equivalents and Cash Held in Escrow
 The carrying amount approximates fair value.
  Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities
 The carrying amount approximates fair value.
  Mortgage Notes Payable, Accrued Interest and Interest Rate Swap Agreement
 The Partnership has categorized its financial assets and liabilities based upon the fair value hierarchy specified by ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures.  This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost).  This standard provides for a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels.  The following is a brief description of those three levels:
  Level 1:
Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  Level 2:
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
  Level 3:
Unobservable inputs that reflect the Partnership’s own assumptions.
  Mortgage Notes Payable and Accrued Interest
 The estimated fair value of mortgage notes payable and accrued interest has been determined using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies.  However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value.  Consequently, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange.

  Fair value for the mortgage notes and accrued interest have been estimated using Level 3 inputs.  Fair value for interest rate swap has been estimated using Level 2 inputs.
  At March 31, 2011, the total fair value of the interest rate swap was a reduction of the mortgage note liability of approximately $7,000.
 For the mortgage notes, fair value is calculated using present value cash flow models based on a discount rate.  It was determined that the Tender Option Bond market, through which these bonds have been securitized in the past, continued to see a dramatic slowdown with limited liquidity and significantly reduced transaction levels.  To assist in valuing these notes, the Partnership held separate discussions with various third party investment banks who are leaders in the municipal bond business.  The discussions produced assumptions that were based on market conditions as well as the credit quality of the underlying property partnerships, which held the mortgage notes, to determine what discount rates to utilize.
  Interest Rate Swap Agreement
 For the interest rate swap, in the absence of readily determinable fair values, the fair value is estimated by the Partnership with the assistance of valuations obtained from the Bank of Hawaii (the “Bank”), at which the swap transaction is held.  The interest rate swap is valued based on the Bank’s estimate of the net present value of the expected cash flows from each transaction subject to the interest rate swap using relevant mid-market data inputs and based on the assumption of no unusual market conditions or forced liquidation.  The preceding method described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Partnership believes its valuation method is appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
  On August 24, 2010, GP Kaneohe Limited Partnership (“Kaneohe”), a subsidiary partnership, entered into an interest rate swap agreement with the Bank as a prerequisite for obtaining refinancing on its original mortgage note payable in the amount of $2,297,000.  The agreement provides a fixed rate of interest on the notional amount, as provided in the agreement, in exchange for the variable rate.  The swap contract became effective September 1, 2010.  The following are the terms under the swap:

  Impairments
  During the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Partnership performed a fair value analysis on all of its remaining investments due to the current deteriorating market conditions in the real estate industry.  Impairment of assets is a two-step process.  First, management estimated amounts recoverable through future operations and sale of the Property on an undiscounted basis.  If such estimates were below depreciated cost, Property investments themselves were reduced to estimated fair value (generally using the discounted cash flow valuation method).  Each Local Partnership must continue to comply with its Tax Credit requirements until the end of the Compliance Period in order to avoid recapture of the Tax Credits.  Therefore, a 5-year cash flow projection was used, as this period is indicative of the average holding period left of the remaining investments.  A net operating income projection was prepared to calculate a residual value at the end of the 5-year period.  Based on this analysis, the Partnership deemed the properties of the below Local Partnerships impaired and wrote them down to their estimated fair value which resulted in $2,920,932 and $12,993,000 of losses on impairment for the year ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Impairment on the properties were measured using Level 3 inputs.

  The mortgage agreements generally require monthly deposits to replacement reserves and monthly deposits to escrow accounts for real estate taxes, hazard and mortgage insurance and other expenses (Note 5).
  Accrued interest payable amounted to approximately $6,211,000 and $6,475,000 as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Interest accrues on all mortgage loans, which include primary and secondary loans.  Certain secondary loans have provisions such that interest is accrued but not payable until a future date.  The Partnership anticipates the payment of accrued interest on the secondary loans (which make up the majority of the accrued interest payable amount indicated in the above table and which have been accumulating since the Partnership’s investment in the respective Local Partnership) will be made from future refinancings or sales proceeds of the respective Local Partnerships or through assumption by the buyer upon sale of the Partnership’s interest in the respective Local Partnership.  In addition, each Local Partnership’s mortgage notes are collateralized by the land and buildings of the respective Local Partnership, and are without further recourse to the Partnership.
   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, the Local General Partners and their respective affiliates receive their pro-rata share of profits, losses and tax credits.
  A)  Guarantees
  The Partnership negotiated Operating Deficit Guaranty Agreements with the Local Partnerships whereby the Local General Partners of such Local Partnerships and/or their affiliates 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, 2011 and 2010, Operating Deficit Guarantees aggregate approximately $123,000 for these years.  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.  As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, there has been no funding under the Operating Deficit Guaranty Agreements.

 (a)     The General Partner is entitled to receive a partnership management fee, 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 of the Partnership. Subject to the foregoing limitation, the partnership management fee will be determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion based upon its review of the Partnership’s investments. Unpaid partnership management fees for any year are accrued without interest and will be payable out of sales or refinancing proceeds only to the extent of available funds after payments on all Partnership liabilities have been made other than to those owed to the General Partner and its affiliates.  Partnership management fees owed to the General Partner amounting to approximately $2,138,000 and $1,847,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Current year partnership management fees may be paid out of operating reserves or refinancing and sales proceeds.  However, the General Partner cannot demand payment of the deferred fees beyond the Partnership’s ability to pay them.
  (b)     The Partnership reimburses the General Partner and its affiliates for actual Partnership operating expenses incurred by the General Partner and its affiliates on the Partnership’s behalf. The amount of reimbursement from the Partnership is limited by the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. Another affiliate of the General Partner performs asset monitoring for the Partnership. These services include site visits and evaluations of the subsidiary partnerships’ performance.  Expense reimbursements and asset monitoring fees owed to the General Partner and its affiliates amounting to approximately $65,000 and $86,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The General Partner does not intend to demand payment of the deferred payables beyond the Partnership’s ability to pay them.  The Partnership anticipates that these will be paid from working capital reserves or future sales proceeds.
  (c)     Independence SLP IV L.P., a special limited partner of the subsidiary partnerships, is entitled to receive a local administrative fee of up to $5,000 per year from each subsidiary partnership.  Local administrative fees owed to Independence SLP IV L.P. amounting to $223,000 and $279,000 were accrued and unpaid as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  These fees have been deferred in certain cases and the Partnership anticipates that they will be paid from working capital reserves or future sales proceeds.
  As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Partnership owed the General Partner and its affiliates approximately $256,000 for advances made by the General Partner and its affiliates to two Local Partnerships.  These advances represent historical amounts loaned in conjunction with the initial capital contributions to the Local Partnerships.  Payments of these advances have been deferred and may be paid out of operating reserves or refinancing and sales proceeds.  The General Partner does not intend to demand payment of the deferred advances beyond the Partnership’s ability pay them.

  NOTE 10 – Sale of Property
  The Partnership is currently in the process of developing a plan to dispose of all of its investments.  It is anticipated that this process will continue to take a number of years.  As of March 31, 2011, the Partnership’s limited partnership interest in one Local Partnership and the property and the related assets and liabilities of one Local Partnership have been sold.  There can be no assurance as to when the Partnership will dispose of its remaining investments or the amount of proceeds which may be received.  However, based on the historical operating results of the Local Partnerships and the current economic conditions, including changes in tax laws, it is unlikely that the proceeds from such sales received by the Partnership will be sufficient to return to the limited partners their original investments.
   NOTE 11 – Assets Held for Sale
  On August 23, 2010, the Partnership had entered into assignment and assumption agreements to sell its limited partnership interest in (i) Figueroa Senior Housing Limited Partnership (“Figueroa”) to an unaffiliated third party purchaser for the sale price of $10,000 and (ii) NNPHI Senior Housing Limited Partnership (“Normandie”) to an unaffiliated third party purchaser for a sales price of $20,000.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, negotiations fell through on both contracts and they are no longer under contract for sale.  Management has determined that the sale of these two properties will not be likely in the near future, and as such, they have been reclassified from discontinued operations into continuing operations.

 MARCH 31, 2011 and 2010
 d)  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 began to recognize Tax Credits with respect to a Property when the Credit Period for such Property commenced.  The Credit Period generally runs for ten years from the date it commenced with respect to each eligible Property.  Because of the time required for the acquisition, completion and rent-up of Properties, as expected, the amount of Tax Credits per BAC gradually increased over the first three years of the Partnership. Tax Credits not recognized in the first three years were recognized in the 11th through 13th years. The Partnership generated $69,006 and $945,893 of Tax Credits during each of the 2010 and 2009 tax years, respectively.  As of December 31, 2010, all the Local Partnerships had completed their Credit Periods.
   NOTE 14 – Liquidity
  At March 31, 2011, the Partnership’s liabilities exceeded assets by $17,672,455 and for the year ended March 31, 2011 incurred a net loss of $4,337,363.  However, the Partnership has working capital reserves of approximately $353,000 at March 31, 2011.  Such amount is considered sufficient to cover the Partnership’s day to day operating expenses, excluding fees to the General Partner, for at least the next year.  The Partnership’s operating expenses, excluding the Local Partnerships’ expenses and related party expenses, amounted to approximately $130,000 for the year ended March 31, 2011.
  As discussed in Note 8 in Item 8, partnership management fees of approximately $2,138,000 will be payable out of sales or refinancing proceeds only to the extent of available funds after payments on all other Partnership liabilities have been made other than those owed to the General Partner and its affiliates.  As such, the General Partner cannot demand payment of these deferred fees beyond the Partnership’s ability to pay them.
  The mortgage payable balance of $25,811,620 and the accrued interest payable balance of $6,210,704 is of a nonrecourse nature and secured by the respective properties.  The Partnership is currently in the process of developing a plan to dispose of all of its investments.  Historically, the mortgage notes and accrued interest thereon have been assumed by the buyer in instances of sales of the Partnership’s interest or have been paid off from sales proceeds in instances of sales of the property.  In most instances when the Partnership’s interest was sold and liabilities were assumed, the Partnership recognized a gain from the sale.  The Partnership owns the limited partner interest in all its investments, and as such, has no financial responsibility to fund operating losses incurred by the Local Partnerships.  The maximum loss the Partnership would incur is its net investment in the respective Local Partnerships and the potential recapture of Tax Credits if the investment is lost before the expiration of the Compliance Period.  Dispositions of any investment in a Local Partnership should not impact the future results of liquidity and financial condition of the Partnership.

  Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures.
  (a)           Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Related Independence L.L.C, the general partner of the Partnership, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
  (b)           Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f).  In evaluating the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting, management has adopted the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO Framework”).  Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the General Partner, the Partnership conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2011.  The Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.  However, because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
  Based on management’s evaluation under the COSO Framework, it has concluded that the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting, was, as of March 31, 2011, (1) effective at the Partnership level, in that they provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (2) ineffective at the subsidiary level due to certain control deficiencies noted in the audit reports for such subsidiaries.  Management will attempt to cause the Local General Partner’s to remedy such deficiencies; however, the General Partner does not have control over the internal controls at the subsidiary level.  Management believes they have sufficient controls at the Partnership level to mitigate these deficiencies, and such deficiencies do not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
  (c)           Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.Except as noted in (b) above, during the year ended March 31, 2011, there were no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

 To the Partners
 Independence Tax Credit Plus L.P. IV and Subsidiaries
 
 
 Under date of June 23, 2011, we reported on the basic consolidated balance sheets of Independence Tax Credit Plus L.P. IV and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners’ capital (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2011.
 
 In connection with our audits of the basic aforementioned consolidated financial statements, we have also audited supporting Schedule I as of March 31, 2011 and 2010 and for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, and Schedule III as of March 31, 2011 and for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.  These supporting schedules are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these schedules based on our audits.  In our opinion, these schedules present fairly, when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements, the financial data required to be set forth therein.
