The Alaska Department of Revenue Tax Division is responsible for collecting & enforcing Alaska taxes. When it comes to resolving Alaska tax problems, individuals and businesses must work directly with the Department of Revenue. Since Alaska is one of the few states with no State income tax and no sales tax, they take their other taxes very seriously. Failure to file or pay Alaska owed taxes can cause some serious consequences.
If you have fallen behind on business Alaska taxes, below are some of the consequences as well as resolutions that can be used to get back into compliance.
Employers in the state of Alaska are subject to interest and penalties if they fail to file a report or submit payment of contributions on the specified due dates. Penalties differ depending on if they are being charged to a contributory employer or a reimbursable employer.
Depending upon the circumstances of the business, Alaska may offer some alternatives to paying the amount owed in full if paying the full amount would cause the business significant hardship which would hurt their future ability to operate.
Alaska may lower/compromise the amount owed on contributions, penalties, and interest if paying the amount in full would result in the insolvency of the employer or individual from whom the balance is owed. In order to work out a compromise, you must contact a local Unemployment Insurance (UI) Tax office (details below) or call their main number at (807) 465-2757 or toll-free at (888) 448-3527.
There are circumstances where Alaska will waive penalties that have been charged to contributory employers if they have reasonable cause for not being in compliance with the tax laws. Reasonable cause may be one of the following:
To get your penalties waived you must work directly with the State of Alaska by calling the number on the assessment notice or calling one of the offices mentioned below.
Employers have the right to file for an appeal on an assessment, UI tax adjustment, and many other tax issues.
