Wyoming annual report: anniversary month
Wyoming does not use a single statewide deadline. Each LLC and corporation files on the first day of the month it was formed, every year after the first, with a $60 minimum license tax plus a $2 online fee.
What is due, and when
The annual report and license tax are one filing through WyoBiz. The report confirms the entity's principal and mailing addresses, registered agent, and (for corporations) officers and directors. The tax is the greater of $60 or $0.0002 per dollar of assets located and employed in Wyoming: the $60 minimum covers everyone with $300,000 or less in Wyoming assets. Filing online adds a $2 processing fee, which is why most people quote $62.
The Secretary of State emails a reminder to the address on file, but the deadline does not depend on receiving it. Registered agents usually send their own reminders as well.
Worked timeline: formed June 2023
Reports and the $62 are due June 1, 2024, June 1, 2025, and June 1, 2026: the anniversary month, not December 31. Founders who note “annual report: year-end” miss June and only discover the lapse months later when a bank or state asks for a certificate of good standing. Set two reminders, 30 days before and on the 1st, and check that WyoBiz shows the filing as accepted, not merely submitted.
Only Wyoming assets count
The tax keys off capital, property, and assets located and employed in Wyoming, not worldwide assets. A Wyoming LLC holding a $2 million California rental property and a New York brokerage account reports only what is physically or legally sited in Wyoming, which for most out-of-state owners is close to zero. Compute your Wyoming-sited slice in the Wyoming calculator; a company with $500,000 of Wyoming assets pays $100, and one with $1,000,000 pays $200.
Missed it?
- Days 1–60 late: the entity is delinquent. File immediately; it keeps its standing if the report and tax arrive in this window.
- After about 60 days: the Secretary of State sends notice that the entity will be administratively dissolved unless it cures the delinquency.
- If still uncured: the entity is administratively dissolved. It can only wind up its affairs, and owners risk losing liability protection for new business done while dissolved.
- Reinstatement: generally available within two years of dissolution by filing every missed report, paying each missed year's license tax, and paying a reinstatement fee. After that window, you would need to form a new entity.
Keep the registered agent current
Wyoming also dissolves entities that go without a registered agent. If your agent resigns, often because its own invoice went unpaid, you have a limited window to appoint a new one. Paying the agent and the state on the same day each year avoids both problems. Closing the company instead? Use the voluntary dissolution guide, which costs far less than letting it lapse.
