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, 2019, 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,
2019.
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.
