Wyoming is the most popular non-resident LLC state in the country and the math behind it holds up. Filing is $104, the annual report is $60 (calculated on Wyoming-located assets, $60 minimum), and Wyoming has no state corporate or personal income tax. Member names are not disclosed in the formation filing.
Wyoming pioneered the modern US LLC in 1977 and has strong charging-order protection statutorily codified for both single-member and multi-member LLCs - a meaningful asset-protection feature that Florida, for example, weakened for single-member LLCs after the Olmstead case.
Form in Wyoming when you want a low-cost, privacy-aware US LLC and you don't have specific reasons to pick another state. For most solo founders and remote founders the answer is Wyoming until proven otherwise.
Best for: Solo founders, remote founders, holding companies, and asset-protection LLCs.

Frequently asked questions
Why is Wyoming so popular for non-resident LLCs?
Three reasons: low filing and annual fees, no state income tax, and strong charging-order protection statutorily codified for both single-member and multi-member LLCs.
When is the Wyoming annual report due?
On the first day of the LLC's anniversary month each year. The minimum fee is $60.
Can a non-US resident own a Wyoming LLC?
Yes. Wyoming has no residency or citizenship requirements and is the single most popular state for non-resident formations.
Is Wyoming an anonymous LLC state?
Member names are not disclosed in the formation filing or in the annual report (which lists the registered agent, not the members). Combined with a registered agent service, this gives meaningful operational privacy.
How does Wyoming compare to Delaware?
For solo founders and small LLCs, Wyoming wins on cost ($60/year vs $300/year) and offers similar charging-order protection. Delaware wins for VC-backed startups where investors expect Delaware entities, and for complex equity structures that benefit from the Court of Chancery case law.
