When to Convert

Conversion Steps

  1. Assess Your Current LLC Structure: Review your Alaska LLC's operating agreement, member details, and financial standing to understand the implications of conversion.

  3. File Articles of Incorporation with Alaska: File the Articles of Incorporation for your C-Corp with the Alaska Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing. The filing fee is $250 as of 2024, but check for 2026 updates.
  4. Obtain an EIN from the IRS: Apply for a new Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS for your C-Corp.
  5. Transfer Assets and Liabilities: Officially transfer all assets, contracts, and liabilities from your LLC to the newly formed C-Corp.
  6. Notify Relevant Parties: Inform clients, vendors, and financial institutions about the conversion and update all relevant agreements and accounts.
  7. Dissolve the LLC (Optional): You may choose to formally dissolve the LLC after the C-Corp is established and all assets are transferred. File Articles of Dissolution with the Alaska Division of Corporations.
