Common mistakes
- Leaving corporations off a consolidated return's Schedule B. List all other corporations with nexus in Alaska included in the return. The form warns that failing to complete this properly may result in penalties.
- Missing Form 6220. Schedule A, line 9 says to attach it if net Alaska income tax is more than $500.
- Continuing past Schedule A, line 15 when the amount is positive. The form says to stop if line 15 is greater than zero.
- Entering a negative amount on Schedule A, line 16. Enter an overpayment credited to 2025 estimated tax as a positive number.
- Overlooking special calculation instructions. The form says net operating loss carryback use is limited and directs you to the instructions. It also directs you to the instructions if fewer than three factors are used in Schedule I.
