The Department of Revenue may at any time, in its discretion, require the taxpayer to furnish a sworn statement of the annual return of income made under the provisions of the act of Congress of the United States for the calendar or fiscal year in question or for the preceding calendar or fiscal year. Any person who shall willfully fail to comply with this demand shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, on conviction thereof, shall be fined not more than $100, and may be sentenced to hard labor for the county for not more than six months, or both. No taxpayer shall be subjected to unnecessary examination or investigation, and only one inspection of a taxpayer's books or accounts shall be made for a taxable year unless the taxpayer requests otherwise or unless the Department of Revenue, after investigation, notifies the taxpayer in writing that an additional inspection is necessary, together with the reasons for such additional inspection.
