Alaska requirements overview

Registration: File Articles of Incorporation with the Alaska Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing. Alaska has no state income tax, so no separate state tax-exempt application is needed.

Annual filing: File a Biennial Report with the Division of Corporations every two years. File federal Form 990 with the IRS.

Solicitation: Alaska requires charitable organizations to register with the Department of Law before soliciting. File annual reports with financial statements.
