2026 tax year · Wyoming
Rental host taxes in Wyoming
Airbnb, Turo and the rest report your gross and withhold nothing. The gap between that and what you are actually taxed on is your costs, in Wyoming that gap is worth $2,252 in tax.
Take a driver who grossed $39,000 over 18,000 business miles. After mileage at 74.3 cents and the rest of the stack, worked through on the rental host page $10,100 comes off and $28,900 is left as taxable profit. That profit is what Wyoming and the IRS charge against.

Earning more in Wyoming
A single filer taking the standard deduction, this work as the only income, the calculator above handles the other filing statuses. Miles rise with earnings, so the deduction rises too, and the effective rate on gross climbs more slowly than it would for someone whose income grew without expenses attached:
| Volume | Gross | Mileage off | Taxable profit | Wyoming tax | Total tax | Rate on gross |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Part-time | $13,000 | $0 | $13,000 | , | $1,837 | 14.1% |
| Steady side income | $39,000 | $0 | $39,000 | , | $7,196 | 18.5% |

Local taxes on a Wyoming let
The income tax below is only part of it. Short-term lets attract occupancy, lodging or transient taxes levied by the city or county rather than Wyoming, often at rates that dwarf the state income tax. Some platforms collect and remit them; some collect only part; in some places the host is on the hook entirely. That is a local question this calculator cannot answer, and it is the one hosts most often get wrong.

Rental host tax questions in Wyoming
How much should a Wyoming host set aside?
About 12.7% of gross on the $39,000 example, $4,944 across self-employment tax, federal income tax and nothing to Wyoming. Set aside from each payout rather than finding it in April.
Does the $39,000 on my 1099-NEC match what Wyoming taxes?
No. Wyoming taxes profit, not gross. After $10,100 of deductions the taxable figure is $28,900, so there is no Wyoming tax either way. But the federal side drops by $2,252.
