Alaska Annual Report Filing: Biennial Due Date, Fee, and Steps

Looking for the Alaska annual report? The state technically doesn't have one. What Alaska requires is a biennial report, filed once every two years with the Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing (the Corporations Section of the Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development). The name is different, but the job is familiar: confirm your registered agent, your addresses, and your ownership details so the state's records stay accurate. For LLCs, the requirement comes from AS 10.50.750, and AS 10.50.760 supplies the consequences.

Alaska Annual Report Due Date: January 2, Every Other Year

Your biennial report is due January 2 of your filing year. Which years are your filing years? Alaska ties the cycle to the year your business first registered: entities registered in an even-numbered year file in even years, and odd-year registrations file in odd years.

Filing Window The state opens the window on October 2 of the year before your deadline, giving you a full three months to file ahead of January 2.

Grace Period Reports remain penalty-free through February 1. Starting February 2, the late fee applies.

The Initial Report Newly formed LLCs and corporations also owe a one-time initial report within six months of formation. It's free, and it doesn't count as your first biennial report.

The Alaska Annual Report Fee: $100

The official Alaska filing fee is $100 for a domestic LLC's biennial report. Foreign LLCs registered to do business in the state pay $200 for the same filing. There's no tax return attached to any of it, because Alaska has no state income tax; the report exists purely to keep your entity information current.

How to File the Alaska Biennial Report

1. Look up your entity through the state's Corporations portal and confirm which year your report comes due.
2. Complete the report online, or use the paper version if you'd rather mail or fax it in.
3. List every member holding 5% or more of the LLC, with each person's name, address, and ownership percentage. This disclosure is a distinctly Alaskan requirement that surprises a lot of owners.
4. Pay the $100 state fee ($200 for foreign LLCs) and submit. Online filings post to your record immediately, while paper and fax submissions take roughly 10 to 15 business days to process.

One thing the biennial report can't do: change your registered agent or your entity name. Those updates require a separate Statement of Change filing with its own $25 fee. If you're switching agents, our change of agent guide walks through it.

Late Penalty: $37.50, Then Involuntary Dissolution

File on or after February 2 and Alaska adds a $37.50 late fee, bringing a domestic LLC's total to $137.50. Foreign LLCs pay a $47.50 penalty for a $247.50 total. Keep ignoring the report and the stakes climb: AS 10.50.760 authorizes involuntary dissolution of an LLC that fails to file. The statute doesn't promise a comfortable countdown before that happens, so treat any delinquency notice from the Division as urgent.

A dissolved entity loses its good standing, its liability protection weakens, and getting reinstated means filing everything you missed plus the accumulated fees.

Different Entities, Different Rules

For-profit corporations file biennially on the same January 2 schedule, with the penalty attaching after February 1.

Nonprofit, religious, and cooperative corporations run on their own cycle: reports due July 2, with a $25 fee.

Limited partnerships and LLLPs file no biennial report in Alaska at all.
