Wyoming estate tax is a pure pickup capped at the federal credit, zero since the credit ended

W.S. 39-19-101 through 39-19-111 are intended to take full advantage for Wyoming of the credit which is allowed as a deduction from the federal estate tax liability of estates of decedents, for state taxes upon property or transfer thereof by reason of death, without increasing the aggregate of federal and state death, transfer or succession taxes upon any estate.

Note: Extracted via pdftotext from the official LSO Title 39 PDF; whitespace normalized across PDF line breaks. Zero-since-2005 follows from the federal credit repeal.

W.S. §39-12-101medium confidenceas of 2026-07-02 · TY 2025

Wyoming imposes no personal income tax: W.S. §39-12-101 preempts income taxation to the state, and the state has never enacted one; capital gains are not taxed

39-12-101. Preemption by state. The state of Wyoming does hereby preempt for itself the field of imposing and levying income taxes, earning taxes, or any other form of tax based on wages or other income and no county, city, town or other political subdivision shall have the right to impose, levy or collect such taxes.

Note: W.S. §39-12-101 preempts income taxation to the state; Title 39 contains no chapter imposing an individual income tax, so 'no income tax' rests on the preemption text plus structural absence: no statute affirmatively says Wyoming has no income tax, hence medium confidence. Correction: an earlier note cited 'Wyoming Stat. §39-22-103' for this rule; that section is the wind electricity production excise tax, not income tax, and the reference is removed.

Wyoming adopted the Disposition of Community Property Rights at Death Act (UDCPRDA equivalent)

This act may be cited as the 'Disposition of Community Property Rights at Death Act.'

Note: URL is the full Title 2 PDF; UDCPRDA is in §§2-7-720 to 2-7-729. Wyoming enacted the UDCPRDA equivalent (1971 original uniform act; older adoption). Short title omits 'Uniform' and 'Rights' but provides equivalent protections for community property character of assets acquired in CP states when a couple moves to Wyoming.
