Annual Report filings for Wyoming LLCs

After you form an LLC in Wyoming, you must file an Annual Report every year.

You need to file an Annual Report in order to keep your Wyoming LLC in compliance and in good standing with the Secretary of State.

Filing Fee (for most WY LLCs):

$60

The reason that we say for most LLCs, is that most Wyoming LLCs have less than $250,000 in assets located in Wyoming.

Filing Fee (if LLC has $250k+ in assets located in Wyoming):

If your LLC has more than $250,000 in assets located in Wyoming, then its Annual Report fee will be higher. The formula is $0.0002 multiplied by the total value of the LLC’s assets.

For example, if the LLC has $300,000 of assets located in Wyoming, then its Annual Report fee will be $60 (300,000 x 0.0002). If the LLC has $400,000 of assets, its Annual Report fee will be $80 (400,000 x 0.0002), and so on.

Note: $0.0002 is actually 2/100ths of a penny.

Good news, the Wyoming Annual Report online filing system has a built-in calculator, so you’ll just need to enter the value of the LLC’s assets, and it will calculate its Annual Report fee for you.

Annual Report Fee is also known as “License Tax”:

FYI, in Wyoming, the Filing Fee is also known as a License Tax.

How to file an LLC Annual Report in Wyoming:

You can file your LLC’s Annual Report online or by mail.

Either way, you’ll first be required to fill out the Annual Report online. After that, you can:

  • Submit the filing electronically and pay online, or
  • Print the form and mail it in along with a check or money order

LLC University® recommendation:

We recommend submitting the Annual Report electronically and paying the fee online as it’s easier and faster.

However, if you are not very “tech-comfortable”, then we recommend printing the Annual Report form out and mailing it to the state along with your payment.

Must File by Mail if your Annual Report fee is greater than $500:

If your Annual Report fee is greater than $500 (meaning the LLC has $2,500,000 or more in assets located in Wyoming), you cannot file your Annual Report online. Instead, a message will appear on the state’s website instructing you to print the Annual Report and file it by mail. You’ll find more information on this later in the lesson.

Processing Times:

If you file your Annual Report online, it will be processed and approved immediately.

If you file your Annual Report by mail, it will be processed and approved in 3-5 business days.

Due Date for Wyoming LLC Annual Report:

LLC Annual ReportYour Wyoming LLC’s Annual Report needs to be filed every year. It is due before the first day of your LLC’s formation month.

For example, if your LLC was formed on June 10th, your Annual Report is due before June 1st every year.

Your first Annual Report is due the year following the year of formation.

For example, if your LLC was approved on June 10th 2024, then your first Annual Report will be due before June 1st 2025. Then it is due before June 1st every year after that.

How early can an Annual Report be filed for Wyoming LLC?

You can file up to one year in advance.

For example, you can file and pay your 2025 Annual Report in 2024.

Wyoming’s online filing system is intelligent and it knows what years have already been paid and what years can be paid (for early filings).

Email reminders:

The state will send you a series of 3 email reminders. The first is sent 60 days before the due date. The second is sent 30 days before the due date. And the third one is sent 10 days before the due date.

If your email address is not already on file:

If you did not enter an email address during the online filing of your Articles of Organization, or if you’d like to add your email address to the state’s notification system, you can find instructions here: Email Address Info.

Penalty for Wyoming LLC Annual Report late filings:

If the Annual Report is not filed 60 days after the deadline, the state may dissolve (shut down) your LLC.

Important (set a reminder):

The #1 reason that LLCs are shut down by the Wyoming Secretary of State is for failure to file an Annual Report.

And, even if you do not receive any of the email reminders, it is still your responsibility to file your Wyoming LLC Annual Report.

For that reason, we strongly recommend putting a repeating reminder on your phone and computer, as well as writing it out and putting it somewhere you’ll see it.

  1. Hello there, by assets what you mean? An office, warehouse, any physical precense?
    I only had my LLC created in Wyoming and that’s it and am a foreign person and am not a US citizen. I just own an LLC in Wyoming, I have my EIN and a US Bank account. Do i still need to pay the Annual report fee to Wyoming? Or only file the form 5472 to IRS just to report my activity as a Foreign owned US LLC (Single Member/100% owner). Thanks in advance

    • Hi Nihat, you need to file both. The Wyoming LLC Annual Report is filed with the Wyoming Secretary of State. Form 5472 is filed with the IRS. The easiest way to think of an asset is a resource with economic value. For example, cash, accounts receivable, stocks, intellectual property, real estate, vehicles, equipment, furniture, etc. The fee for the LLC Annual Report is $50, unless the LLC has assets worth more than $250,000 in Wyoming. Edit: As of July 2021, the Wyoming LLC Annual Report is $60.

  2. Very Helpful article,

    Thank you so much for helping for filling annual report. But I have one question that Is filling by myself is beneficial or go with registered agents service, actually they charge little bit higher I personally want to proceed it by myself.

    One more question I have that how can If I have no asserts in Wyoming and place 0s then how much fee I need to pay? my registered agent inform me its $52 if you file by self. Please answer me about this query also

    Please guide me what I can do.

    Thank You

    • Hi Sujukiaren, you’re very welcome. Correct. If you file yourself, the fee is $50 plus a $2 processing fee ($52). That is the minimum fee. That fee would be higher if the LLC had more than $250,000 in assets located in Wyoming. I hope that helps. Edit: As of July 2021, the Wyoming LLC Annual Report is $60.

  3. Hi Matt
    Thank you very much for the valuable content. May I know whether it is possible to file the Annual Report on my own?, or do I need to use my registered agent’s service? (By the way I am from Sri Lanka and I used a registered agent to setup my LLC). As per your guide I think my filing fees should be just $50 as I did not do any business since the LLC was formed.

    • Hi Iroshan, you’re very welcome :) You certainly don’t have to hire a Commercial Registered Agent to file your Wyoming LLC’s Annual Report. You can do so yourself by filing online. Yes, correct: the Wyoming LLC annual fee is $50. The instructions for the online filing are above on this page. Edit: As of July 2021, the Wyoming LLC Annual Report is $60.

  4. Hello Matt,

    “Check off the box under “I Certify”, agreeing to the terms, and enter your name and email address.”

    Then my name and email will be publicly available for anyone, right?
    Is there any workaround if I want to file my LLC’s annual report by myself?

    Thanks Matt.

    • Hi Naser, you are correct. The name and email will be published on the Wyoming LLC Annual Report, which is on public records and available for download. The only “workaround” we recommend is hiring someone to file your Annual Report and making sure they list their email address as sign their name as an Authorized Person. Hope that helps.

  5. Hi Matt,

    Thank you for this article! Based on the information you gave above, I was able to file the annual report for my company on my own.

  6. What do I use as figure for building assets if my business operates from a home/office?

    • Hi Bryan, great question. And apologies, this page had some confusing language. It used to say “your assets”. It should have said “the LLC’s assets”. We’ve since edited the page. You’ll only be taking into considerations assets owned by your Wyoming LLC, not assets owned by you personally. Hope that helps.

  7. To keep a Wyoming LLC active, we need to file an annual report. Is it the same as the financial annual report? If my company do not have profit, do I need to file?
