Wyoming Annual Report and License Tax for LLCs in 2026

Wyoming keeps annual-report compliance simple on paper, but it still catches business owners who assume there is one statewide due date.

There is not.

For Wyoming LLCs, the due date is tied to the company’s formation or qualification month. The Wyoming Secretary of State says annual reports for LLCs are due on the first day of the anniversary month of formation. If the LLC’s initial filing date was May 15, for example, the annual report is due May 1 each year.

That means the most important first step in 2026 is not guessing. It is checking the entity record and confirming the LLC’s anniversary month.

How the Wyoming annual report deadline works

Wyoming bases the annual report on the company’s anniversary month, not a single universal spring deadline.

The Secretary of State explains the rule this way:

• annual reports are due on the first day of the anniversary month of formation; and
• the easiest way to confirm the due date is to search the business entity database.

For example:

• if the LLC was formed on January 15, the report is due January 1 each year;
• if the LLC was formed on July 28, the report is due July 1 each year.

That makes Wyoming different from states that use a fixed annual filing date for every business.

What Wyoming asks for in the annual report

Wyoming’s annual report filing flow requires basic entity information plus the financial figure used to calculate the annual license tax.

The Secretary of State says filers should be ready with:

• the Secretary of State filing ID;
• current officer or manager information as applicable;
• current information as of the date of filing; and
• for some entities, financial information needed to compute the license tax.

For LLC owners, that means this is not just a reminder task. It is also a record-review task.

How much does the Wyoming annual report cost?

For Wyoming LLCs, the state’s annual charge is tied to the annual license tax.

The Wyoming Secretary of State says the tax is:

• $60, or
• two-tenths of one mill on the dollar ($0.0002) of the company’s assets located and employed in Wyoming,

whichever is greater.

That is why some Wyoming LLCs pay the minimum and others pay more. If the company has a larger Wyoming asset base, the license tax can rise above $60.

The Secretary of State’s FAQ gives a simple example: if a company has $1,210,000 in assets located and employed in Wyoming, the tax would be $242.

Are there extra online filing fees?

Yes.

Wyoming says online filing includes a payment-card processing fee. The annual-report page states the additional filing cost is 2.4% of the filing fee, with a $1 minimum.

Businesses that do not want to pay that extra online cost can print the completed annual report during the online process and mail it in with the proper fee.

Why Wyoming LLC owners miss this filing

The Wyoming annual report is usually not missed because it is unusually complicated. It gets missed because owners assume the date is somewhere near the original formation date and never verify the actual filing rule.

Common problems include:

• confusing the formation date with the filing due date;
• forgetting that the report is due on the first day of the anniversary month;
• not having the filing ID handy;
• waiting to calculate Wyoming assets until the last minute; and
• overlooking registered-agent or address updates that should be handled at the same time.

Registered-agent accuracy matters too

Wyoming compliance is not just about paying the tax.

If the LLC’s registered-agent information is outdated, the business can create the exact kind of notice problem annual-report season is supposed to prevent. The annual report is a good time to confirm:

• the registered agent is still serving;
• the registered office is still accurate; and
• the business contact information on file still reaches the right person.

What happens if a Wyoming LLC falls behind?

The safest assumption is that falling behind creates both money risk and good-standing risk.

Wyoming’s published business-law materials state that annual reports and license taxes are required to remain in good standing, and the reinstatement materials require payment of delinquent annual report fees if the entity has been allowed to lapse.

In practical terms, late cleanup can mean:

• paying accumulated report fees and taxes;
• dealing with reinstatement filings;
• difficulty getting proof of good standing; and
• avoidable disruption when banks, partners, or other states ask for current entity status.
