Performance Detail
Priority 1: Funds Collection |
Target #2: 90% of existing taxpayers file their tax returns and make tax payments timely.
TRMS has a public facing component which allows taxpayers to file and make payments online. The division has had great success with this system and believes it is a factor in the performance reported. Target Last Modified: 10/10/2024 |
Target #3: Increase child support collections by 1.0%, to include Permanent Fund Dividend collections.
Target Last Modified: 11/02/2024 |
Target #4: 1,000 hour increase in audit hours over prior year.
In general, the Tax Division strives to increase its year-over-year audit hours in an effort to be more efficient with its time and spend auditor time on things that will generate the greatest benefit to the State. In FY2024, the Tax Division upgraded its Tax Revenue Management System (TRMS). This was a big lift and required a significant time commitment of staff. In order to ensure that the upgrade was successful, the Tax Division deliberately cut back on its audit hours and diverted those resources to the TRMS upgrade. TRMS has allowed the Tax Division to automate many processes and makes audit work more efficient. For those reasons, the Tax Division prioritized the TRMS upgrade in FY2024 which resulted in a decrease in audit hours from the prior year. The decrease in hours in FY2017 — FY2018 can partially be explained by the fact that there have been significant changes in the oil and gas production tax regime which has required programming changes to TRMS. The oil and gas production tax and corporate income tax Audit Groups remain current on all oil and gas audits. Target Last Modified: 10/10/2024 |
Priority 2: Funds Distribution |
Target #1: Increase disbursements of child support payments by 0.5%.
The division is focused on improving processes and implementing technology with the upgrade of our outdated system, to continue to meet our target increase of 0.5 percent in child support disbursements. Target Last Modified: 10/10/2024 |
Target #2: Maintain or reduce administrative costs from year to year.
* FY2023 appropriation does not reflect $2,000,000 appropriated for security upgrades. Subsequently, after security upgrades were made, $1,500,000 was returned to the fund as the security solution selected was a more cost-effective choice. Target Last Modified: 11/14/2024 |
Target #3: Increase Senior Housing units
Renovating properties to allow for aging-in-place, through accessibility modification upgrades (loans or grants) may assist in relieving the overall demand for senior housing as demographics continue to grow. Encouraging Alaskans to complete home modifications, perhaps while they are still working and can more easily afford the repairs, will assist in assuring residents can remain in their homes and communities for as long as possible. Note: Unit data excludes AHFC mortgage data to assisted living properties as those developments report beds rather than units. Target Last Modified: 11/02/2024 |
Target #4: Increase Multi-Family units

Target #2: A long-term 5% real rate of return

The Fund"s long-term rolling 10-year Real Rate of Return for the fiscal year period (FY) 2015-2024 was 4.9% with an inflation rate of 2.7%, and the Total Rate of Return for the same period was 7.6%. The Fund"s annualized total return for 40.5 years, ended June 30, 2024, was 8.8%. For FY2024, the Fund ended the year with a value of $80.54 billion in assets under management (AUM). This comprises $70.7 billion in the Principal and $9.87 billion in the Earnings Reserve Account (ERA). The portion of dedicated State of Alaska revenues deposited into the Fund"s Principal (or "corpus") is based on mineral prices and production. In FY2024, this amount came in at $533 million.
