Wyoming itself
- No personal income tax
- No corporate income tax
- No franchise tax
- $60 minimum annual report (Wyoming Statutes Section 17-29-209)
- No state-level beneficial ownership disclosure
When other states may tax you
- FBA inventory in Amazon warehouses creates physical nexus in CA, TX, NY, FL, OH, IL, AZ, NV, NJ, GA, PA
- US-based employees create nexus in the state where they work
- Fixed US office creates nexus in that state
- Economic nexus (post-Wayfair 2018): over $100K sales or 200 transactions to that state's customers triggers sales tax registration
Common scenarios
- SaaS founder, no US employees, no office: $0 state income tax exposure. Sales tax may apply in states with economic nexus.
- Amazon FBA seller: physical sales tax nexus in warehouse states. Income tax exposure is rare (states generally do not tax non-resident pass-through income).
- Freelancer working from home country: $0 state income tax exposure. No nexus anywhere.
- Real estate investor with US property: state income tax in property state plus property tax.
