State Tax for Non-Resident LLC Owners

Wyoming has no state income tax. But if your LLC has nexus in other states, those states may tax you. This guide explains multi-state nexus rules and what most non-residents actually owe.

Answer

Wyoming has $0 state income tax. Your Wyoming LLC may have nexus (and tax exposure) in other states if you have physical presence (US employees, office, inventory) or economic nexus (high sales volume to that state's customers). Most non-resident Wyoming LLC owners operating from outside the US have nexus only in states where their FBA inventory sits. Sales tax compliance is the bigger multi-state issue; state income tax is rare for non-resident pass-through LLCs without ECI.

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.
