The Wyoming annual report, step by step
Francis Webb, Founder, 1 Day EIN
Every Wyoming LLC files one report a year with the Secretary of State. It is short, it is mostly a payment, and the owner can file it online without anyone's help. It is also the filing with the hardest consequence on the calendar: under the state's own rule, a company that misses it is administratively dissolved about two months later.
This page covers the whole of it from the state's own pages, read 19 October 2026: when it is due, what it costs and how to file it yourself.
When it is due: the first day of your anniversary month
The due date is set by the month the company was formed, not by the calendar year. In the words of the Secretary of State's Annual Report instructions: annual reports for LLCs "are due on the first day of the anniversary month of formation. For example, if your 'initial filing' date is May 15, your Annual Report is due May 1 of each year."
Two details from the state's business FAQ (read 19 October 2026) make that easier to live with:
- You can file early. "An annual report may be filed up to one hundred and twenty (120) days before its due date."
- The state sends reminders. Courtesy emails go out 60, 30 and 10 days before the due date, to the email address the state has on file, from SOS_AnnualReports@wyo.gov.
If you are unsure of your date, the instructions page says to search the state's entity database for your company.
What it costs: $60, or more if the company holds Wyoming assets
For an LLC the annual report is paid as a licence tax. The fee schedule effective 1 July 2026 (read 19 October 2026) states it as "$60 or two-tenths of one mill on the dollar ($.0002) whichever is greater based on the company's assets located and employed in the state of Wyoming."
The state's FAQ works the arithmetic for you. An entity with $300,000 or less in assets located and employed in Wyoming pays $60, and one with $1,210,000 in Wyoming assets pays $242. The test is assets located and employed in Wyoming, and the report asks you for the figure. What counts for your own company is your call, or your accountant's.
Two small costs sit on top when you file online, per the instructions page:
- A card processing fee of 2.4% of the filing fee, minimum $1.
- A $500 ceiling on e-filing. If the annual report fee is over $500, it cannot be filed online.
How to file it yourself
The state's online filing tool is the Annual Report Wizard on wyobiz.wyo.gov. From its instructions (read 19 October 2026):
- Check you can e-file. The wizard files an original annual report for registered business entities that are "Active". The instructions suggest searching the entity database first to confirm yours can.
- Have your Secretary of State Filing ID. If you do not have it, the instructions say to find it with the state's search.
- Enter the Wyoming asset figure the licence tax is calculated on (see above).
- Pay by Visa or Mastercard, credit or authorised debit card.
- Or print and post it. If you do not want to pay the card fee, the wizard lets you print the completed report at its Confirmation step, sign it and mail it in with the fee "at no cost" beyond the fee itself.
The wizard is for companies that are still active. A company already dissolved for a missed report goes through reinstatement instead.
What happens if it is missed
The state's FAQ is blunt: the entity "will be deemed delinquent on the second day of the month following its due date. If the annual report is not filed within sixty (60) days following the due date, the entity will be administratively dissolved."
Reinstatement is possible for a while. A company dissolved for unfiled annual reports within the past two years, with no other delinquencies, can reinstate online. The fee schedule prices that at $100, or $350 if the company has no registered agent. After two years, the FAQ says, "Wyoming statutes do not allow for reinstatement." The full sequence, and what dissolution breaks, is in what happens when an LLC falls out of good standing.
Wyoming against Colorado, for this one filing
Wyoming's report is the dearer of the two states' at the floor, $60 against Colorado's $25, and it is tied to your formation month. If you are still choosing a state, the full comparison is in Wyoming or Colorado for a non-resident LLC, and Colorado's version of this page is the Colorado periodic report, step by step. The report is one line in a short yearly calendar, and the rest of that calendar is in the single-member LLC compliance year.
The honest summary
If you can keep a reminder for the first of your anniversary month and keep your email address current with the state, you can file this yourself for $60 plus a card fee of 2.4%, minimum $1, or post it with the fee and pay no card fee at all. You need nobody's help with it. That is a real answer and we would rather give it.
If you would rather not be the one who remembers: our annual report filing is $150 a year with Wyoming's state fee included, or the Compliance Plan at $350 a year covers the registered agent, US business address, this report and the Form 5472 with pro-forma 1120, all on one renewal. Both prices are on /pricing. The year-by-year arithmetic against doing it yourself is in the real cost of a US LLC in year two.
