How Wyoming Income Tax Works
Wyoming is one of nine US states with no state income tax. Residents only pay federal income tax (to the IRS) and FICA (Social Security + Medicare). Wyoming makes up for the lack of state income tax through higher sales tax, property tax, or revenue from natural resources (especially in Wyoming's case).
When you earn income in Wyoming, your employer withholds both federal income tax (sent to the IRS) and WY state tax (sent to the Wyoming Department of Revenue). At tax time, you file two separate returns: one federal (Form 1040) and one WY state return.
Since Wyoming has no state income tax, you only file a federal return (Form 1040). You don't need to file a Wyoming state return. Some Wyoming cities may have local income taxes — check with your city or county for details.
