When obtaining Alaskan residency how do you fill out tax forms?

When you move to Alaska, you will need to file a state income tax return. The Alaska Department of Revenue provides instructions for filing your state income tax return. You can also find information on the Alaska Department of Revenue website about other taxes that you may need to file, such as sales tax and property tax.

Steps for Filling Out Alaskan Residency Forms:

1. __Determine if you are a resident of Alaska.__

You are considered an Alaskan resident if you:

- Meet physical presence test: You must have been physically present in Alaska for at least 180 days during the tax year.

- Meet domicile test: You must intend to make Alaska your permanent home. This means you must have more significant ties to Alaska than to any other state.

- Are considered a resident by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

2. __Obtain an Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) Application.__

This form is used to claim your share of Alaska's oil wealth. You can find an application online or at your local public assistance office.

3. __File an Alaska individual income tax return (Form 1040-AK).__

You can find a copy of this form online or at your local public assistance office. When filing your return, you will need to include the following information:

- Your name, address, and Social Security number

- Your spouse's name and Social Security number (if filing jointly)

- Your dependents' names and Social Security numbers (if applicable)

- Your income from all sources

- Your deductions and credits

- Other income forms required if applicable (W-2, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-R, 1099- MISC)

- Your permanent fund dividend and the interest you earned on your PFD

4. __Pay any taxes that you owe.__

You can pay your taxes online, by mail, or in person at your local public assistance office.

5. __Keep a copy of your tax return for your records.__

You may need it to prove your residency in Alaska if you are ever asked to do so.
