The articles may include additional provisions, not inconsistent with law, for the regulation of the internal affairs of the cooperative, including any provision which under this chapter is required or permitted to be set forth in the bylaws. A provision required or permitted in the bylaws has equal force and effect if stated in the articles. Whenever a provision of the articles is inconsistent with a bylaw, the articles control. In addition to the matters required to be set out in the articles of incorporation, the articles of incorporation may also contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its members for monetary damages for the breach of fiduciary duty as a director. The articles of incorporation may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for (1) a breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the corporation; (2) acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (3) willful or negligent conduct involved in the payment of dividends or the redemption of stock from other than lawfully available funds; or (4) a transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

The tax due must be paid by the 15th day of the third month following the close of the tax year. Form 04-611 is the prescribed form on which the Alaska Corporation Net Income Tax is to be reported for most corporations.
