of the commissioner, and shall be preserved for a period of four years, unless the

commissioner, in writing, consents to their destruction within that period, or by

order requires that they be kept longer. Any information gained as the result of returns, investigations, hearings, or verifications

required or authorized by this chapter is confidential, and no person shall disclose

such information, except for official purposes, or as provided by division (B) of section 5703.21 or section 5715.50 of the Revised Code , or in accordance with a proper judicial order.  The tax commissioner may furnish the internal revenue service with copies of returns

filed.  This section does not prohibit the publication of statistics in a form that does

not disclose information with respect to individual taxpayers.
