What is different about Wyoming

• No income tax and a $60 annual report make Wyoming one of the cheapest states to maintain an LLC, which is why so many out-of-state owners form here.
• Wyoming does not require members or managers to be listed in the public record.
• If the business actually operates in another state, it usually has to register there too, which cancels much of the saving; get advice before forming here for tax reasons alone.

What else you pay in year one

Registered agent. Free if you serve as your own agent at a Wyoming street address; a service charges an annual fee if you would rather keep your address off the public record.
EIN. Free from the IRS. Anyone charging for an EIN alone is charging for the form.
Annual report or franchise tax. Most states ask for a yearly report and some charge a fee or tax with it; the amount and deadline are set by Wyoming. Check the Secretary of State page before you file so the first renewal is not a surprise.
Licences and permits. City and county rules depend on what the business does, not on the entity type.

Not sure whether an LLC or a corporation fits? The entity cost calculator compares the two over three years, and the guide to LLC vs C-Corp covers the tax and investor side.

Questions founders ask about Wyoming

How much does it cost to form an LLC in Wyoming?: $100 for the Articles of Organization, filed online. Approval is usually immediate. A Wyoming registered agent is required, so out-of-state owners also pay for an agent service.

How much does it cost to start an LLC in Wyoming?: The Wyoming state filing fee for an LLC is $100, paid once when you file the formation document. That is right at the national median: 17 of 51 jurisdictions charge less, and the national median is $100. Registered agent service, expedited processing and any EazeAccounts package are separate.
Do I need a registered agent in Wyoming?: Yes. Every state requires an LLC or corporation to name a registered agent with a physical street address in Wyoming who is available during business hours to receive legal and official mail. You can be your own agent if you live in the state, or use a service.

The EazeAccounts formation package covers preparing and filing the documents, the EIN, the operating agreement or bylaws, and setting your books up from day one. You always see both amounts before you pay.
Is the state filing fee refundable if my filing is rejected?: Generally no. States keep the fee even when a filing is rejected for a name conflict or a missing detail, which is why the name check and document review happen before anything is submitted.
