Dissolving a company in Wyoming
The state-level facts for closing an LLC or corporation in Wyoming: the dissolution filing, its fee, whether tax clearance comes first, and the tax obligations that keep accruing until the filing is accepted. Every fact links to the official government source it was read from.
Wyoming LLC
- Dissolution filing
- Articles of Dissolution (Limited Liability Company) — filed with the Wyoming Secretary of State, Business Division. (official source)
- Filing fee
- $60 (official source)
- Tax clearance before filing
- Not required before the dissolution filing. (official source)
