Wyoming annual report: the $60 tax, your date and the 60 days after it

The short answer

A Wyoming LLC files one annual report a year, by the first day of the month it was formed in, and pays a license tax of US$60 unless it holds more than US$300,000 of assets in Wyoming.

There's no late fee, but 60 days after the due date the state dissolves the LLC. With us it all comes to US$130.44 a year.

Find my due date Work out the tax
The quiet deadline 60 days from the due date until an unfiled LLC is dissolved Wyoming adds no penalty in that time. It simply ends the company, and the bank and the IRS keep writing to it.

You picked Wyoming because it's cheap to keep. It stays cheap only if one email from Cheyenne doesn't land in spam once a year. Put in the day your LLC was formed and you'll see the exact morning each report is due, the day the state starts counting against you and the last day to bring it back. Every figure comes from the Wyoming Secretary of State's 2026 fee schedule and Title 17 of the Wyoming Statutes.

Key takeaways

  • The annual report is due by the first day of your anniversary month, every year from the year after formation.
  • The license tax is US$60, or US$0.0002 per dollar of assets in Wyoming if that's more. Most LLCs run from abroad pay the minimum.
  • Filed online, a 2.4% card fee is added: US$61.44 in total. Above US$500 of tax the report must go on paper.
  • No late fee, but the LLC is delinquent the next month and dissolved 60 days after the due date.
  • Reinstatement costs US$100 plus the back taxes, and only within two years.
  • With Heirson: US$130.44 a year, agent and filing included.

Wyoming annual report due date: find yours from the formation day

1

Wyoming ignores the day of the month you formed on and keeps only the month. Formed on 11 November? Your report is due on 1 November, ten days before the anniversary itself, which is where most people slip.

Who owns it

    The due date and early filing window come from W.S. 17-29-209, and the Secretary of State's business FAQs set out the 60 day rule. The state emails reminders 60, 30 and 10 days ahead to the address on file.

    1
    Key takeaway

    Your formation month sets the date, and it's always the 1st of that month.

    Chapter 2

    How the Wyoming license tax is worked out

    60

    The "annual report fee" is a tax on what the company keeps in Wyoming, not on what it earns anywhere. The rate is two-tenths of a mill, US$0.0002 per dollar, with a US$60 floor. Type a figure to see what the report will ask for.

    US$

    Office space, stock, equipment or property in Wyoming counts. A bank account or customers elsewhere don't make an asset Wyoming's.

    An LLC run from Lisbon or Lagos with nothing physically in Wyoming has nothing to multiply, so it pays the floor. Wyoming keeps the asset worksheet out of the public file (annual report worksheet); only the tax paid shows on the record.

    2
    Key takeaway

    Nothing in Wyoming means US$60. The tax only grows past US$300,000 of Wyoming assets.

    What a Wyoming LLC costs to keep each year

    A Wyoming LLC with Heirson, each year2026

    State card fee, 2.4%US$1.44
    Registered agent and annual report filingUS$69.00
    Your yearly totalUS$130.44
    Where you live: pick it

    Wyoming only ever asks for the tax, paid when you file the annual report online. The rest is the registered agent the law makes every LLC keep in the state, and someone to put the report in on time. Agents that look cheap often sell those two separately.

    Inside our US$69 a year
    • Wyoming registered agent and street address
    • Your annual report filed before the 1st
    • The license tax passed to the state at cost
    • Official mail scanned to your dashboard
    • Reminders 30 and 7 days before each IRS date
    Not inside it
    • A tax above US$60, if you hold over US$300,000 in Wyoming
    • State fees for changes such as an amendment, US$60
    • Preparing your federal tax forms
    • Reinstating an LLC another agent let lapse, priced first

    Key takeaway

    US$61.44 goes to Wyoming, US$69 to us, and that's the whole state side.

    Chapter 4

    Missed the Wyoming annual report? Delinquent, then dissolved

    60

    Most states punish a late report with a fine. Wyoming skips the fine and goes straight to the company's existence, so the cost of forgetting isn't money at first. It's the LLC.

    1. Up to 120 days beforeFiling opensFile any time in this window; the date doesn't move if you file early.
    2. 1st of the anniversary monthReport and tax dueUS$60 for most LLCs, paid when the report is filed.
    3. 2nd of the next monthStanding: delinquentThe record shows the tax as delinquent. A good standing certificate won't print, and banks that ask for one will notice.
    4. 60 days after the due dateAdministratively dissolvedThe LLC can only wind up its affairs. Contracts, the bank account and a marketplace seller account are now held by a dissolved company.
    5. 2 years after dissolutionThe door closesThe statute stops allowing reinstatement, and the name becomes free for someone else to take.

    The rule sits in W.S. 17-29-705 and the state's own FAQ says it plainly: unfiled within sixty days, the entity "will be administratively dissolved". A missed report also leaves the IRS writing to an address nobody watches.

    4
    Key takeaway

    No fine, just a 60 day countdown to dissolution.

    Chapter 5

    Reinstating a dissolved Wyoming LLC: what it costs

    What it takes depends on where the LLC is in that countdown. Pick the one that matches yours.

    Where is your LLC now?

    Reinstatement "relates back": once it's done, the Wyoming LLC Act treats the LLC as if it had never been dissolved, so contracts signed in the gap stand. That's the reason to do it inside two years rather than start again.

    5
    Key takeaway

    US$100 plus the back taxes brings it back, but only for two years.

    Chapter 6

    Registered agent renewal and the other state fees

    A Wyoming LLC must keep a registered agent with a street address in the state every day of the year. The agent's own fee is private, set by whoever you hire. The state fees around it are small and fixed.

    US$5Appointing a new registered agent, for example switching to us
    US$60An amendment to the articles, such as a new name
    US$60Dissolving the LLC on purpose, with no back taxes owed
    US$0A certificate of good standing printed online
    US$20A signed paper certificate by mail
    US$350Reinstatement after losing the agent, plus a new agent

    Every figure is from the Secretary of State's fee schedule effective 1 July 2026. If your agent ends its service, the state sends notice and gives you 60 days to name another before the LLC is dissolved; switching is a US$5 filing, so don't wait for that letter.

    6
    Key takeaway

    Keep an agent every day; switching costs US$5, losing one costs US$350.

    Chapter 7

    The IRS date that costs more than Wyoming ever will

    $25,000

    Wyoming's report is US$60. The federal form that sits beside it isn't a state fee at all, and missing it costs more than four hundred years of Wyoming tax.

    15 AprilForm 5472 with a pro forma Form 1120, for an LLC with one owner outside the US, calendar year
    US$25,000The IRS penalty for not filing it, or filing it badly incomplete
    Fax or postIt can't be filed online, so it needs planning, not a last-minute click

    It's due every year money moves between you and the LLC, including what you paid to set it up (IRS Form 5472 instructions). Two or more owners file a partnership return by 15 March instead. Our Form 5472 guide walks through it line by line.

    7
    Key takeaway

    Two dates a year: Wyoming on the 1st of your month, the IRS on 15 April.

    Chapter 8

    Wyoming annual report and fees: questions, answered

    ?!
    How much is the Wyoming annual report fee?
    It's a license tax: US$60, or two-tenths of a mill on every dollar of company assets located and employed in Wyoming, whichever is greater. Up to US$300,000 of Wyoming assets you pay the US$60 minimum. Filed online, a 2.4% card fee is added, US$1.44 on US$60.
    What is the Wyoming annual report due date?
    On or before the first day of the month the LLC was formed in, every year from the year after formation. An LLC formed on 11 November 2026 files by 1 November 2027. Filing opens 120 days before that.
    Is there a late fee for the Wyoming annual report?
    The state fee schedule lists no late fee. The LLC turns delinquent on the second day of the month after the due date, and if the report still isn't filed 60 days after the due date, it is administratively dissolved.
    How do I reinstate a dissolved Wyoming LLC?
    Within two years of dissolution, file for reinstatement and pay every missed license tax plus a US$100 reinstatement fee. After two years the law doesn't allow it, and you would form a new LLC.
    Does a Wyoming LLC pay franchise tax or income tax?
    No. Wyoming has no corporate or personal income tax and no separate franchise tax. The annual report license tax is the only yearly state charge for most LLCs.
    Does the Wyoming annual report list the owners?
    No. It asks for an address, contact details and the value of assets in Wyoming. The asset worksheet isn't a public record, and members are never named.
    What does it cost to change my Wyoming registered agent?
    US$5 at the state for an appointment of a new registered agent. We pay it when you switch to us.
    What does Heirson charge each year for a Wyoming LLC?
    US$130.44 for most LLCs: our US$69, which keeps the registered agent and files the annual report, plus US$61.44 passed to Wyoming for the US$60 minimum tax and its card fee.
