Sales tax deduction in Wyoming

Varies

Is Sales Tax Deductible in Wyoming?

Short answer: Yes, and it's usually your best option: Wyoming has no income tax, so itemizers deduct sales tax instead (4% state rate, about 5.39% with local taxes). Most grocery-store food is exempt as food for domestic home consumption; voter-approved local option taxes add to the 4% state rate.

Use the IRS Sales Tax Deduction Calculator or your receipts, add sales tax paid on a car, boat, or home-building materials, and stay within the $40,400 SALT cap (Schedule A line 5a).

Records to keep: Keep your state return, W-2s and 1099s (1099-R, SSA-1099), and any state credit worksheets. Check your state revenue department's current-year instructions before you file.
