Income 2028 Term Fund Inc. (formerly, DTF Tax-Free Income Inc.) </font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:2.0pt;margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-top:0in;"><font face=Calibri,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:107%;">&nbsp;</font></p>

statements of DTF Tax-Free Income 2028 Term Fund Inc. (the Fund) as of and for
the year ended October 31, 2022, in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), we considered the
Fund&#8217;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&#8217;s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. </font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:2.0pt;margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-top:0in;"><font face=Calibri,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:107%;">&nbsp;</font></p>

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
company&#8217;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 company&#8217;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 company; (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 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 a company&#8217;s assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements. </font></p>

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. </font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:2.0pt;margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-top:0in;"><font face=Calibri,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:107%;">&nbsp;</font></p>

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&#8217;s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected
on a timely basis. </font></p>

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
PCAOB. However, we noted no deficiencies in the Fund&#8217;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, 2022. </font></p>

Ownership Reporting Compliance</font></b><font face=Calibri,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:107%;">. Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act imposes the
filing requirements of Section 16 of the 1934 Act upon (i) the Fund&#8217;s directors
and officers, (ii) the Fund&#8217;s investment adviser and certain of their affiliated
persons and (iii) every person who is directly or indirectly the beneficial
owner of more than 10% of any class of the Fund&#8217;s outstanding securities (other
than short-term paper). Based solely on a review of the copies of Section 16(a)
forms furnished to the Fund, or written representations that no Forms 5 were
required, the Fund believes that during the Fund&#8217;s most recently completed
fiscal year all such filing requirements were complied with, except for a late
Form 3 filing by each of the newly appointed portfolio managers of the Fund,
Ronald Schwartz and Dusty Self.</font></p>
