Capital Gains Tax in Wyoming

Combined rate and how to defer it in Wyoming.

Wyoming has no state income tax, so investment property sellers owe only the federal capital gains rate: up to 23.8% (20% federal + 3.8% NIIT, 0% state). Wyoming pairs that with no estate tax, making it one of the more tax-favorable states for property investors.
