Social Security benefits in Wyoming

Varies

Is Social Security Taxed in Wyoming?

Short answer: No. Wyoming has no individual income tax, so Social Security benefits are not taxed by the state. With no income tax, Wyoming relies more on sales and property taxes; older homeowners get this break: Long-term homeowner exemption: 50% off for owners 65+ who paid Wyoming property tax 25+ years (through 2026).

Federally, up to 85% of benefits can be taxable depending on your combined income (IRS Pub 915); that part doesn't change by state.

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.
