Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Connecticut's report ($150) and Alaska's report ($200, every two years).

Does Alaska require a registered agent?

Yes: the Connecticut registered agent stays, and ours covers Alaska for year one.

Can I form a new Alaska corporation instead?

Yes, but Connecticut keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Alaska's Biennial Report ($100), and the original keeps Connecticut's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Alaska later?

Connecticut companies leave by filing Form 08-502; until then, Alaska's report stays due alongside Connecticut's filings.
