The Best State for Non-Resident LLC Owners
Wyoming levies no state income tax, offers exceptional privacy (member names not required in public filings), has some of the lowest annual fees in the country ($64/year), and allows complete non-resident ownership. It's the top choice for international entrepreneurs building a U.S. business presence.
How We Form Your Wyoming LLC
Forming a Wyoming LLC as a non-resident follows the same process as for U.S. residents — and BizFyle handles every step remotely, with no paperwork burden on you. The process of formation with the state is completed online, typically within 2–4 business days.
Name Availability Check
We verify your preferred LLC name with the Wyoming Secretary of State to ensure it's unique and meets state naming requirements.
File Articles of Organization
We prepare and file your Articles of Organization with the Wyoming SOS. The state filing fee is $104, paid to the state.
Registered Agent Appointment
Wyoming law requires a physical in-state registered agent. BizFyle provides this — your personal details stay off public records.
Operating Agreement
We prepare your Operating Agreement — a foundational document that outlines the ownership structure, member roles, and operating rules of your LLC.
EIN (Employer Identification Number)
We assist with obtaining your EIN from the IRS — essential for banking and tax filings. Please note that EIN issuance for non-residents can take up to 4–8 weeks depending on IRS processing times.

Once filed and approved, we deliver your formation documents. You're ready to open a U.S. business bank account and operate globally.

Annual State Filing & Compliance Requirements
Every Wyoming LLC — whether owned by a U.S. resident or non-resident — must meet annual compliance requirements to remain in good standing with the state. Failure to comply can result in administrative dissolution of your LLC.
Wyoming LLCs must file an Annual Report each year. The report is due on the first day of the anniversary month of your LLC's formation date.
State Fee: $64/year (flat fee for LLCs with Wyoming assets ≤ $300,000; higher-asset LLCs pay $0.0002 per dollar of assets).
Wyoming law requires your LLC to maintain a Registered Agent with a physical Wyoming address at all times throughout the life of your LLC.
Your BizFyle Registered Agent service must be renewed annually to keep your LLC active and compliant with state law.

Wyoming State Tax & Federal Tax Provisions
Understanding your U.S. tax obligations is critical for running a compliant LLC as a non-resident operating outside the United States. Below is a clear breakdown of what applies to you.
Wyoming Has No State Income Tax
Wyoming is one of only a handful of U.S. states with zero state income tax. This means your Wyoming LLC pays no state-level income tax on profits — a significant advantage for non-resident owners serving global clients from outside the U.S. There is also no franchise tax or corporate income tax imposed at the state level on LLCs.
| Form | Who Must File | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Single-Member LLC (Foreign-Owned Disregarded Entity) | ||
| Pro-Forma Form 1120 | Foreign-owned Single-Member LLCs | Filed as attachment to Form 5472 — not a standalone tax return. Required by IRS for non-resident disregarded entities. |
| Form 5472 | Foreign-owned U.S. LLCs (25%+ foreign ownership) | Mandatory disclosure of related-party transactions. $25,000 IRS penalty for non-filing. |
| Form 1040-NR | Non-U.S. resident owners with U.S.-source income | Personal income tax return for nonresident aliens. Filed alongside Form 5472. |
| Multi-Member LLC (Partnership) | ||
| Form 1065 | Multi-member LLCs (treated as partnership by default) | U.S. Return of Partnership Income. Reports the LLC's income, deductions, gains, and losses to the IRS. |
| Schedule K-1 | Each individual member of a multi-member LLC | Reports each member's share of income, deductions, and credits. Issued to all members along with Form 1065. |
| Form 1040-NR | Non-U.S. resident members with U.S.-source income | Personal income tax return for nonresident alien members. Filed based on each member's K-1 income allocation. |

Everything You Need to Start & Stay Running
Below is a complete cost breakdown — from initial formation through annual maintenance. No hidden fees, no surprises.
Dissolving Your Wyoming LLC
If you decide to close your Wyoming LLC, the state requires filing Articles of Dissolution with the Wyoming Secretary of State. Dissolving properly protects you from future compliance obligations, annual fees, and liability.
BizFyle manages the entire dissolution process on your behalf — preparing and filing all required documentation with the state.
