An LLC formed in an even year files in even years, and one formed in an odd year files in odd years. Filing opens October 2. Late: a report postmarked after February 1 costs $137.50.

Due today with us$385.23$123.75 plus Alaska's $250, with the $11.48 card processing fee shown before you pay.

Alaska's fees are the same whoever files, so the fair comparison is year two, when the registered agent renews. Ours renews at $74.25, the same as the first year.
