Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of DTF
Tax-Free Income Inc.

In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of DTF Tax-Free Income Inc. (the Fund)
as of and for the year ended October 31, 2018, in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we
considered the Fund's internal control over financial
reporting, including controls over safeguarding
securities, as a basis for designing our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion
on the financial statements and to comply with the
requirements of Form N-CEN, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Fund's internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

The management of the Fund is responsible for
establishing and maintaining effective internal control
over financial reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility,
estimates and judgments by management are
required to assess the expected benefits and related
costs of controls. A fund'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 purposes in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. A
fund's 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 fund; (2) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the fund are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and
directors of the fund; and (3) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a
fund's assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.

Because of its 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.

A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting
exists when the design or operation of a control does
not allow management or employees, in the normal
course of performing their assigned functions, to
prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A
material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of
deficiencies, in internal control over financial
reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility
that a material misstatement of the fund's annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis.

Our consideration of the Fund's internal control over
financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph and would not
necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal control
that might be material weaknesses under standards
established by the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). However, we noted
no deficiencies in the Fund's internal control over
financial reporting and its operation, including controls
over safeguarding securities, that we consider to be a
material weakness as defined above as of October
31, 2018.

This report is intended solely for the information and
use of management and the Board of Directors of
DTF Tax-Free Income Inc. and the Securities and
Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and
should not be used by anyone other than these
specified parties.
