Re:	National Tax Credit Partners, LP
      Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004
      Filed April 15, 2005
      File No. 000-18541

Dear Mr. Robertson:

      We have reviewed your July 14, 2005 response letter and have
the following additional comments.

1. We note that your reconsideration of paragraph 5(c) resulted in
the identification of two additional local limited partnerships as
variable interest entities.  We also note your disclosure in Note
3
that "NTC, or another affiliate of the General Partner, is the
Local
Operating General Partner in 10 of the Partnership`s 19 Local
Partnerships."  Since Exhibit A to your July 14, 2005 response
letter
only identifies five VIE`s where the local general partner is an
affiliate of AIMCO, please tell us how you considered paragraph
5(c)
with respect to the remaining five local limited partnerships
referenced in Note 3.

2. We note your conclusion that the general partner is more
closely
associated with the local limited partnership and therefore is the
primary beneficiary.  Please explain to us in sufficient detail
how
you considered and concluded on each of the indicators in
paragraph
17 and your rationale for doing so.  In your response, tell us how
you weighted each of these factors in arriving at your conclusion.

comments
included in this letter within 10 business days or tell us when
you
will provide us with a response.  Please file your response on
EDGAR.
