Renters credit in Wyoming

Varies

Can Renters Get a Tax Break in Wyoming?

Short answer: No: Wyoming doesn't offer a renter's credit or rent rebate. Wyoming has no state income tax and no renter credit or rent rebate. Wyoming's Property Tax Refund Program refunds part of property taxes paid on a principal residence, so it is available only to homeowners. With no income tax to deduct, renters who itemize federally can deduct sales tax instead (4% state rate, about 5.39% with local).

Rent on your own home isn't deductible on your federal return; the exceptions are a home office used for your business or renting out part of the place you rent.

Records to keep: Keep your lease, rent receipts or a landlord rent certificate, and proof of household income. Check your state's current-year form and deadline before you apply.
