1. Does Wyoming Require an LLC Annual Report?
Yes—Wyoming requires LLCs to file an annual report to stay in good standing. In Wyoming, the annual report is tightly connected to the annual license tax. The state uses your report to confirm key company details and to calculate the license tax (based on assets located and employed in Wyoming).
2. What Wyoming LLCs Must Do Each Year
Wyoming yearly compliance is usually simple. Most LLCs plan for these recurring items:
Annual compliance checklist
- Wyoming Annual Report + Annual License Tax: file with the Wyoming Secretary of State each year
- Registered Agent renewal (if using a service): keep a valid agent and address for legal/state notices
- Business licenses (if applicable): requirements depend on city/county and business activity
- Federal tax return (IRS): depends on SMLLC vs partnership vs S-corp election
- Bookkeeping + records: maintain clean records to avoid issues with banks, payments, and audits
3. Wyoming Annual Report = Annual License Tax
In Wyoming, your annual report is not just an “update form”—it includes payment of the annual license tax. For LLCs (and several other entity types), Wyoming commonly calculates the tax based on the value of assets located and employed in Wyoming, with a $60 minimum.
How the license tax is commonly calculated
- Minimum: $60
- Or: $0.0002 per dollar of assets located and employed in Wyoming (whichever is greater)
- Online filing: convenience fee applies based on the tax amount
- If your report fee is high: e-filing may not be permitted above certain thresholds
- Proof matters: keep your confirmation/receipt for banking and compliance records
If you only remember one thing: Wyoming LLCs must file an annual report and pay the annual license tax to remain in good standing.
4. Wyoming LLC Due Dates (Common Scenarios)
Wyoming annual reports are due based on your anniversary month (formation month). In simple terms: your report is commonly due on the first day of your anniversary month.
Common examples
- Formed on January 15: annual report due January 1 each year
- Formed on June 15: annual report due June 1 each year
- Formed on November 3: annual report due November 1 each year
Important timing rules
- You can often file early (commonly up to 120 days before the due date)
- If you miss the due date, the entity can become delinquent
- Continued non-filing can lead to administrative dissolution
- Good standing affects banking, payments, and vendor onboarding

9. Federal Compliance That Impacts Wyoming LLCs
1. Federal tax return (IRS)
Your Wyoming LLC’s federal tax filing depends on classification: single-member LLCs often report on the owner’s return, partnerships file an informational return, and S-corp elections follow IRS S-corporation filing rules .
2. EIN (Employer Identification Number)
Many LLCs use an EIN to open bank accounts, hire employees, and work with payment processors. While not part of the Wyoming annual report, keeping EIN-related records helps with compliance documentation.
3. BOI updates (Corporate Transparency)
If your ownership or key information changes, you may need to update beneficial ownership information (where applicable). This is separate from Wyoming annual report filing but often comes up in annual reviews.
4. Other recurring federal obligations
- Payroll tax filings if the LLC has employees
- Information returns (such as 1099 forms) when required
- Keeping clean bookkeeping for audits, banking, and compliance reviews
