Financial Statements and Notes

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
1. Please file the report(s) of the independent accountants
referenced by the principal accountants in their report, as
required
by Rule 2-05 of Regulation S-X.

Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
2. You determined that seventeen of the entities in which the
Partnership holds an interest at December 31, 2004 are VIEs and
the
Partnership is not the Primary Beneficiary of any of these
entities.
In a supplemental response, please tell us how you determined
seventeen of the entities were VIEs and the remaining fourteen
entities, of which the Partnership holds an interest of greater
than
fifty-percent in eleven of them after December 15, 2004, were not
VIEs.  In your response, please address the authority and
obligations
of the general partner(s) of the Local Limited Partnerships, and
your
relationship with the general partners.  Finally, please quantify
the
equity investment at risk for each Local General Partner, net of
any
upfront fees received.
3. You refer to the Partnership`s maximum exposure to loss at
December 31, 2004 relative to determining the primary beneficiary
for
the identified VIEs.  In a supplemental response, please tell us
whether you evaluated the Partnership`s expected losses and
residual
returns and equity investment at risk as applicable at the time
the
Partnership became involved with the Local Partnerships, as
opposed
to its equity at risk at December 31, 2004. Additionally, please
address whether you included the Partnership`s rights to tax
credits
in the expected cash flows.

Note 2 - Investments in Local Partnerships
4. It appears you applied the cost recovery method for the sale of
partial interests in Rancho Del Mar Limited Partnership and
Wedgewood
Commons Limited Partnership in 2003.  In a supplemental response,
please advise us how you analyzed the criteria in paragraph 5 of
SFAS
66 and explain what paragraph in SFAS 66 supports your accounting
treatment.  Additionally, if the sales price of the partial
interest
was proportionately less than the carrying amount of the interest
sold, please tell us if you applied the relative fair value of
your
investment to your remaining basis to assess impairment.
