Wyoming LLC Annual Report: Due Date, Fee, and How to File Online (2026 Guide)

TL;DR

Every Wyoming LLC files a state annual report once a year, due on the first day of its anniversary month, and pays a license tax of $60 minimum. You file it online at wyobiz.wyo.gov in about ten minutes with a Visa or MasterCard from anywhere in the world. Miss it and there is no late fee — but 60 days after the due date the Secretary of State administratively dissolves the LLC. It is not a tax return: Form 5472 and every other federal filing are separate.

What the Wyoming annual report is

It is a short filing with the Wyoming Secretary of State that confirms the LLC’s addresses and pays the annual license tax. It is how Wyoming knows the company still exists and still wants to exist. File it and the LLC stays in good standing; skip it and the state eventually deletes the company.

The report does not ask about income, owners, or what the company does. Unlike the corporation version, the LLC form does not ask for a list of officers and directors. For a foreign-owned LLC with no physical presence in Wyoming, it is the simplest recurring filing you will make — as long as you know the date.

When is the Wyoming annual report due?

The first day of the anniversary month of formation, every year after the year you formed. The Secretary of State states that “the annual report due date for all registered business entities (with the exception of Statutory Trusts) is based on the anniversary month of formation.”

The month matters, not the day. An LLC formed on March 20 is due March 1. An LLC formed on March 1 is also due March 1. The first report is due in the year after formation — there is no report in the formation year itself.

Write the due date into the calendar the day the LLC is formed, and set a reminder a month earlier. The state does send reminders, but they go to the registered agent’s address — not to you in Tokyo or Shenzhen — so treat them as a backup, not the system.

How much is the Wyoming LLC annual fee?

$60, for almost every foreign-owned LLC. The Secretary of State’s fee schedule states the annual report license tax “is $60 or two-tenths of one mill on the dollar ($.0002) whichever is greater,” measured on the LLC’s assets located and employed in Wyoming.

An LLC whose only Wyoming connection is its registered agent’s street address has no assets located and employed in the state. Inventory in an Amazon warehouse in Texas, a Mercury balance, a laptop in Berlin — none of that is a Wyoming asset. The worksheet totals $0 and the minimum applies.

Two small extras: paying online adds a convenience fee of 2.4% of the filing fee (minimum $1) — about $1.44 on a $60 report — and if you want someone to prepare and file it for you, that is a separate service fee, not a state fee. There is no late fee, no penalty, and no interest on a late LLC report; the cost of lateness is structural (see below).

The fee has not changed for years — it was $60 in 2024, 2025 and 2026 — but the Secretary of State can change it, so check the current fee schedule before you file.

How to file the Wyoming annual report online, step by step

You need three things: your Filing ID (the number the Secretary of State assigned when the LLC was formed — it is on your Articles of Organization and on the WyoBiz record), your current addresses, and a Visa or MasterCard.

1. Open the Annual Report Wizard at wyobiz.wyo.gov/Business/AnnualReport.aspx. Do not use a third-party site that appears above it in search results; the state charges $60, and anything else is a markup.
2. Enter the Filing ID. If you do not know it, use the WyoBiz name search first, then come back. The wizard pulls up the LLC’s record and the report year that is due.
3. Confirm the principal office address. This is where the business is actually run. For a foreign-owned LLC that is usually your address abroad; a foreign address is accepted. Do not enter the registered agent’s address here unless you actually operate from it — see registered agent vs business address.
4. Confirm the mailing address. Where you want state correspondence sent. Many owners use a U.S. mail-scanning address here; some use the registered agent’s address if the agent forwards mail. Either is fine as long as someone actually reads what arrives.
5. Enter assets located and employed in Wyoming. For most foreign-owned LLCs this is $0. The wizard computes the license tax — $60 at the minimum.
6. Sign electronically. Type the name and title of the person signing on behalf of the LLC — you as member or manager, or the person you have authorised (your registered agent, if it files for you). The information must be current as of the date the report is submitted.
7. Pay. Visa or MasterCard credit, or Visa or MasterCard authorised debit; a foreign-issued card works. The 2.4% convenience fee is added at checkout.
8. Save the confirmation. The final step of the wizard is the confirmation page; print it or save it as a PDF. A few minutes later the LLC’s WyoBiz record shows the report as filed and the next due date rolls forward a year. Keep the confirmation with your company records — banks and platforms sometimes ask for proof of good standing.

If the license tax exceeds $500, or you cannot pay by card, the wizard lets you print the completed report to mail with a cheque to the Secretary of State in Cheyenne. Mailing also avoids the card fee, at the cost of postage time from abroad.

Paying from outside the United States

The state’s payment page accepts Visa and MasterCard only. A card issued by a bank in Japan, China, Germany or anywhere else works — the charge is in U.S. dollars, so your bank applies its usual foreign-transaction rate. Cards on other networks (JCB, UnionPay, American Express) are not accepted at the state’s checkout; use a Visa or MasterCard, or have your registered agent file and invoice you.

What if you miss it: the 60-day rule

There is no late fee, but there is a hard cut-off. The Secretary of State’s FAQ states: “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.”

So a report due March 1 makes the LLC delinquent on April 2 and dissolved around April 30. Inside that window the fix is simply to file and pay the $60. After dissolution, reinstatement for tax costs $100 plus the unpaid license tax, can usually be filed online through the WyoBiz reinstatement page with the Filing ID, and is available for two years — “Wyoming statutes do not allow for reinstatement after two (2) years in an administratively dissolved standing.” After that you form a new company with a new EIN and a broken history.

Dissolution is where the real damage happens: the bank that opened your account on a certificate of good standing can freeze it, Amazon or Stripe can ask for documents you cannot produce, and the LLC still owed its federal filings the whole time. The full timeline, the reinstatement mechanics and the statutory nuances are in what happens when the Wyoming annual report is late.

The registered agent’s role

Your registered agent is the Wyoming street address that receives the state’s reminders and any legal papers. That is all the law requires of it. Filing the annual report is not the agent’s duty unless you have paid for that service — and even then, the obligation stays with the LLC.

Three practical points:

• The state’s reminder goes to the agent, not to you. If your agent only forwards mail when you ask, you will not see it. Ask what they do with state notices.
• An LLC with no registered agent is on a worse path. Reinstatement after losing the agent costs $350, not $100. Keep the agent paid.
• You cannot be your own agent from abroad. The address must be a physical Wyoming street address staffed during business hours — see can a non-resident be their own registered agent.

If your address changed, the annual report updates the principal office and mailing address with the state, but it does not update the IRS. That needs Form 8822-B, and the two should be done together so notices from both sides reach you.

What the annual report is NOT

• Not a tax return. No income is reported, no tax is computed, and nothing about your IRS position changes. Wyoming has no state income tax; the “license tax” is a fee for existing.
• Not Form 5472. A foreign-owned single-member LLC files Form 5472 with a pro forma Form 1120 with the IRS every year, due April 15 (extendable to October 15). It is a different form, a different agency and a different deadline — see the Form 5472 service page and the full deadline calendar. Filing the annual report does nothing for the $25,000 Form 5472 penalty exposure.
• Not optional for a dormant LLC. A company with no activity still owes the $60 to exist (and usually still owes Form 5472).
• Not a BOI report. The FinCEN beneficial ownership report is no longer required for U.S.-formed companies; the Wyoming annual report was never connected to it.
• Not proof of compliance. A certificate of good standing says the state is happy. It says nothing about the IRS.

Closing the company instead

If you no longer want the LLC, do not just stop filing and let it dissolve. Administrative dissolution leaves the federal side open and the bank account in limbo. File a deliberate dissolution with a final federal return so the year closes cleanly.

If you would rather hand it off

Most owners file this themselves in ten minutes; the steps above are the whole job. If you prefer not to — different time zone, no Visa or MasterCard, or you simply want it off your list — a professional U.S. tax preparer can prepare and file the report for $99, with the $60 state fee passed through at cost, and put the anniversary date on the same calendar as your Form 5472. Send the Filing ID and your current addresses through the client portal, never by email.
