Wyoming Mileage Deduction 2026

Wyoming has no state income tax. Your mileage deduction is federal-only, and there is no state return to file. At 15,000 business miles, you save about $4,056 in federal income and self-employment tax savings just by keeping a mileage log.

Of the nine no-income-tax states, Wyoming is the cleanest for self-employed workers. There is no franchise tax trap like Tennessee, no contractor excise tax like South Dakota, and no gross receipts tax. The only business-related state taxes are a 4% sales tax and mineral extraction taxes. If you are self-employed and not in mining, Wyoming's state tax burden is essentially zero.

How to File

Deduct your business miles on federal Schedule C, Line 9 at 72.5¢/mile. No state return is required. Keep a log with the date, destination, purpose, and miles for each trip.

Wyoming does not require employers to reimburse mileage.

FAQ

Do I still need to track mileage if Wyoming has no income tax?

Yes. The deduction is on your federal return, which applies regardless of state taxes. Skipping the log means leaving $4,000+ on the table.
