Wyoming LLCs are taxed as pass-through entities by default. This means that revenue from the business passes from the LLC to the tax returns of the LLC members. Members are then responsible for paying federal income taxes and the 15.3% self-employment tax (12.4% social security and 2.9% Medicare).

Wyoming has many advantages over other states for building an LLC. It has no state income tax, filing and reporting costs are low, members' privacy is assured, and it has charging order protection laws.

Wyoming Statutes § 17-29-110: Though Wyoming does not legally require an operating agreement for an LLC, having one is strongly recommended. This document includes provisions for the regulation of business affairs of the company and its members, as well as managers.

Disadvantages of creating an LLC Cost: An LLC usually costs more to form and maintain than a sole proprietorship or general partnership. States charge an initial formation fee. Many states also impose ongoing fees, such as annual report and/or franchise tax fees.

Wyoming's charging order protection laws are effective for members to protect their LLC assets and ownership from creditors. However, that protection does not extend outside of Wyoming. Members living out of state will have to deal with different laws protecting their LLC assets from garnishment by creditors.

The Statement of Information form must be filled out along with your Articles of Organization. This form is simply a statement that includes your company name, the partners of the Wyoming LLC, and the business address.
