  1. Choose entity type under Alaska law (LLC or corporation) based on owners, activity, and banking needs.
  2. File with the Alaska Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing.
  3. Obtain a federal EIN from the IRS when required (online EIN is $0 per IRS).
  4. If electing S corporation status, file the federal election after the entity exists; S corp is not a separate Alaska entity type.
