    File your Articles of Organization / Certificate of Organization with Alaska (fee: $250).

  3. 3

    Appoint a registered agent (a person or service with a physical address in the state).

  4. 4

    Obtain an EIN (Employer Identification Number) from the IRS — free at irs.gov.

    File your first annual report ($100/year) by the deadline.
