A Wyoming LLC annual report is a yearly filing every Wyoming LLC owes the Secretary of State. As of 2026, this guide covers the deadline, the asset-based License Tax, and the exact filing steps. New to the state? Start with our Wyoming LLC formation guide.
Does Wyoming Require an Annual Report for LLCs? (W.S. 17-29-209)
Yes, every Wyoming LLC must file an Annual Report each year with the Wyoming Secretary of State, Business Division. The requirement sits in W.S. 17-29-209 of the Wyoming Limited Liability Company Act. It covers both domestic LLCs and foreign LLCs holding a Certificate of Authority to transact business in the state, as the Wyoming Secretary of State Annual Report page confirms.
Wyoming separates two terms that sound interchangeable but aren’t. The yearly filing is the Annual Report; the fee paid alongside it is the Annual Report License Tax under W.S. 17-29-210. For how this stacks up against states that don’t use an asset formula, our LLC annual report guide maps the national picture.
In my nine years of working with Wyoming LLCs, the filing detail that surprises clients most is the Annual Report License Tax. I regularly see people hear “$60” and assume it is a flat fee, but it is not. The real rule is that the tax is the greater of $60 or $0.0002 per dollar of Wyoming assets.
Wyoming Annual Report Due Date: First Day of Your Anniversary Month
The Wyoming Annual Report is due on or before the first day of the LLC’s anniversary month, every year. Not the last day. That detail trips up owners who assume an anniversary-month filing runs to month-end.
Anniversary month means the month of organization, the month the LLC was formed. If the initial filing date was May 15, the report is due May 1 of each following year. W.S. 17-29-209 sets the rule, and the Secretary of State’s own examples confirm it.
A few worked examples make the pattern clear:
| Initial Filing Date | Annual Report Due Date |
|---|---|
| January 25 | January 1, each year |
| May 15 | May 1, each year |
| June 30 | June 1, each year |
| December 12 | December 1, each year |
Up to 120 days before the due date, Wyoming lets you file early. Some guides claim a full year; that’s outdated. The Secretary of State’s FAQ caps the early filing window at 120 days, so treat that as your ceiling.
The state won’t necessarily warn you before the deadline, so the due date belongs on your own calendar from the day you form the LLC. That single habit removes the most common reason Wyoming LLCs fall delinquent.
For a newly formed LLC, the first report generally comes due on the first occurrence of that anniversary-month date after formation. An LLC formed in May 2026 would file its first report by May 1, 2027. If you need an exact date for compliance planning, your entity record in WyoBiz shows the date the state has on file.
How to Find Your Wyoming LLC’s Filing ID and Due Date
The Annual Report Wizard runs on your Secretary of State Filing ID, the number assigned to your entity at registration. You can pull it, your formation date, and your current status through the state’s business entity search.
Our Wyoming LLC lookup walkthrough shows where to enter the name and read the entity record. If you’re still mapping timelines for a brand-new entity, our guide on how long a Wyoming LLC takes to form explains when your anniversary month gets locked in.
Wyoming Annual Report License Tax: $60 Minimum or $0.0002 Per Asset Dollar
Wyoming is one of the few states that doesn’t charge a flat annual fee. The Annual Report License Tax is the greater of $60 or $0.0002 per dollar of assets located and employed in Wyoming.
The math is straightforward once you see it. Two-tenths of one mill on the dollar works out to $0.0002. Multiply your Wyoming assets by that rate; if the result beats $60, you pay the result, and if not, you pay the $60 minimum.
The break-even point is $300,000. An LLC with $300,000 or less in Wyoming assets pays the floor, and the tax scales up only above that line.
The Secretary of State publishes these examples:
| Wyoming Assets | Annual Report License Tax |
|---|---|
| $200,000 | $60 |
| $300,000 | $60 |
| $1,210,000 | $242 |
Two more numbers matter. Online card payments add a 2.4 percent processing fee, with a $1 minimum. And if the License Tax tops $500, you can’t e-file at all. That cutoff lands around $2.5 million in Wyoming assets. For a fuller view of yearly costs, see our Wyoming LLC cost guide.
Here’s the catch with older guides: many still cite a $50 minimum or a $250,000 threshold. Both are out of date. The current figures are $60 and $300,000.
How Wyoming Values “Assets Located and Employed in Wyoming”
Most guides stop at the formula. Defining a Wyoming asset is the harder part. The Secretary of State’s Annual Report and License Tax Rules answer it directly, and valuation depends entirely on the asset type.
The Rules break valuation down by category:
- Everyday business assets generally use balance sheet value.
- Depreciable assets may use assessed value where one exists.
- Depletable assets such as coal, oil, silver, or gold use the assessed value of the gross product from the mine.
- Land uses assessed value, not balance sheet value.
One point for privacy-minded owners: the detailed worksheet behind the calculation is treated as proprietary, while the license tax figure shown on the report itself is the part that becomes public record.
How to File a Wyoming LLC Annual Report Online Through the Annual Report Wizard
Most Wyoming LLCs finish the Annual Report online in under ten minutes. For them, e-filing is a no-brainer. The path runs through the Annual Report Wizard on WyoBiz, the state’s business filing platform.
Filing Online via the Annual Report Wizard
Before you start, have your Filing ID and a Visa or MasterCard ready. The steps run in this order:
- Open the Annual Report Wizard on WyoBiz and enter your Secretary of State Filing ID. If you don’t have it, the Wizard links to the Name Search to find it.
- Confirm the entity the system returns is yours, then open the report to enter or edit details.
- Update your principal office address and mailing address if anything changed since last year.
- Enter the value of assets located and employed in Wyoming so the Wizard can compute your License Tax.
- Review the calculated fee. If it lands above $500, the Wizard won’t let you continue online.
- Certify the report under penalty of perjury, then pay by card. A 2.4 percent processing fee applies.
- Save or print the confirmation for your records.
The official starting point is the Wyoming Annual Report Wizard. Owners who’d rather hand the yearly filing to a service can compare options in our Wyoming LLC services review.
Filing by Mail (Print-and-Mail Annual Report)
Mail filing covers two situations: a License Tax above $500, which rules out e-filing, or a preference to skip the card fee.
At the Confirmation step, the Wizard generates a report you can print, sign, and mail with payment. The mailing address is the Wyoming Secretary of State, Business Division, Herschler Building East, Suite 101, 122 W 25th Street, Cheyenne, WY 82002-0020.
Online filing is processed fastest. Wyoming doesn’t list a set processing time for mailed reports, so build in extra time and file well ahead of the due date.
Here is a quirk that catches asset-heavy Wyoming LLCs off guard: if the Annual Report License Tax comes out above $500, the Secretary of State’s system blocks online filing entirely. I have seen mineral and real estate LLC owners sit down to e-file on the morning their report is due, only to learn they have to print, sign, and mail it instead.
File Your Wyoming Annual Report with Northwest Registered Agent Support
Northwest Registered Agent helps Wyoming LLC owners keep their registered agent details current, receive state notices, and stay organized before annual report filing issues or mail-only requirements create last-minute problems.
Information Required on the Wyoming Annual Report Under W.S. 17-29-209
Wyoming asks for less than most states, and that’s deliberate. W.S. 17-29-209 keeps the Annual Report focused on assets and address, not ownership detail.
The statute requires three core items in the certified report:
- The LLC’s capital, property, and assets located and employed in Wyoming.
- The address of the LLC’s principal office.
- A certification under penalty of perjury by the treasurer or other fiscal agent.
The Wizard also collects practical fields: your Filing ID, a current mailing address, a contact email address, and card payment details. Financial figures must be current as of the end of your fiscal year immediately before the report is signed.
A registered agent change is not handled on the Annual Report; it needs a separate Statement of Change by Business Entity. If you’re weighing agents, our Wyoming registered agent guide breaks down the options.
Members and managers don’t appear on the Wyoming Annual Report either. Since W.S. 17-29-209 never asks for them, the filing keeps member privacy intact, which is part of what draws owners to the state. Ownership terms live in your operating agreement instead, and our Wyoming operating agreement guide covers what belongs there.
Late Filing, Delinquency, and Administrative Forfeiture Under W.S. 17-29-705
Miss the deadline and Wyoming moves in stages, not all at once. The first stage is delinquency: an LLC is deemed delinquent on the second day of the month after its due date.
From there, the Secretary of State’s Business FAQ draws a clear line. If the Annual Report stays unfiled for 60 days after the due date, the LLC faces administrative dissolution, which the statute frames as administrative forfeiture.
W.S. 17-29-705 sets the formal mechanism. For unpaid fees, the state sends notice by first-class mail or electronic means to the LLC’s last known address. Unless the LLC complies within 60 days of that notice, it is deemed defunct and forfeits its articles of organization.
Worth flagging: Wyoming doesn’t publish a separate dollar late fee for a missed LLC Annual Report. Some other guides claim one. The real cost is delinquency, forfeiture, and the reinstatement expense that follows.
A forfeited LLC is treated as transacting business without authority. In practice, that means you’ll struggle to get a Certificate of Good Standing, and banks, lenders, and licensing bodies will treat the LLC as out of standing until it’s reinstated.
How to Reinstate a Wyoming LLC After Administrative Forfeiture
If an LLC does forfeit, you’re not necessarily stuck. W.S. 17-29-705 allows reinstatement within two years of forfeiture, and a reinstated LLC is treated in law as if it never lapsed.
Reinstatement runs through the Secretary of State’s Reinstatement Online Services and asks for your Filing ID. The Reinstatement for Tax fee is $100.
If the forfeiture traces to a lapsed registered agent, the cost climbs. That path is the Reinstatement for No Registered Agent fee at $350, which folds in a $250 statutory penalty. Either way, all delinquent License Tax years are still owed, and that adds up fast.
If the Secretary of State rejects a reinstatement, W.S. 17-29-707 opens an appeal route, though most LLCs that pay the back fees clear without one.
In my experience, reinstating a forfeited Wyoming LLC is rarely as simple as paying one fee. The Reinstatement for Tax fee is $100, but if the problem includes a missed registered agent, the filing moves to the $350 path. On top of that, the LLC still owes every delinquent License Tax year.
Wyoming LLC Annual Report Questions: Fees, Deadlines, and Filing ID
A handful of questions come up again and again from Wyoming LLC owners at filing time. Here are direct answers to the most common ones.
Does a Wyoming LLC with no Wyoming assets still pay the $60 minimum?
Yes. The $60 figure is a floor, not a charge tied to holding assets. An LLC with little or no Wyoming property still owes the $60 minimum License Tax to file a valid Annual Report.
Is the Wyoming Annual Report due on the first or last day of the anniversary month?
The first day. W.S. 17-29-209 sets the deadline as on or before the first day of the LLC’s anniversary month. Owners who wait for month-end have already missed it.
Why can’t I e-file if my Wyoming Annual Report fee is over $500?
The Secretary of State’s online system caps e-filing at a $500 License Tax. Above that, you print the report at the Confirmation step and mail it with payment. The threshold reflects roughly $2.5 million in Wyoming assets.
Does Wyoming charge a late fee for a missed Annual Report?
No separate dollar late fee is published for LLC Annual Reports. The consequence is delinquency, then administrative forfeiture if the report stays unfiled 60 days past the due date, plus reinstatement costs to recover.
Can I change my registered agent on the Wyoming Annual Report?
No. A registered agent change is a separate filing, the Statement of Change by Business Entity. The Annual Report Wizard updates your address and assets, not your agent.
Does the Wyoming Annual Report list LLC members or managers?
No. W.S. 17-29-209 asks only for Wyoming assets, the principal office address, and a certification. Member and manager names stay off the report, one reason Wyoming appeals to privacy-focused owners.
Can someone else file the Wyoming Annual Report for my LLC?
Yes. An owner, an authorized employee, an attorney, or a registered agent service can file on the LLC’s behalf. The report still needs a certification under penalty of perjury by the treasurer or other fiscal agent.
