December 2024), Introduction · medium confidence · as of 2026-07-02 · TY 2025 Alaska elective community property: AS §§34.77.010 to 34.77.995 allows married couples to elect CP treatment via agreement or trust This publication doesn't address the federal tax treatment of income or property subject to the 'community property' election under Alaska, Tennessee, and South Dakota state laws. Note: Alaska Stat. §34.77 (Uniform Disposition of Community Property Act) establishes elective community property for Alaska residents; IRS Publication 555 (Rev. December 2024) names Alaska as one of three states with an optional community property election. The statutory text was not directly accessed; confidence medium based on IRS Pub 555 acknowledgment. Married couples may opt into community property treatment via a community property agreement or a community property trust. Double step-up benefit (IRC §1014(b)(6)) is legally arguable but no IRS ruling has confirmed it for AK trusts. https://www.irs.gov/publications/p555 |
