Updated October 4, 2026. Quick answer: No. “Wyoming does not possess an individual or corporate income tax.” The state’s own pages say so, so there is no Wyoming return line for military retired pay.
How Wyoming treats military retired pay
| Item | What the documents say |
|---|---|
| Treatment | Wyoming has no individual income tax |
| Statutory tax structure | The Legislative Service Office’s Title 39 summary lists the individual income tax at 0%, noting Article 15, Section 18 of the constitution |
| Not named | Neither document mentions military retired pay specifically |
A $30,000 example
A retiree with $30,000 of military retired pay owes no Wyoming income tax on it, because the state has no individual income tax.
