Back-period exposure & voluntary disclosure
Wyoming offers a voluntary disclosure program for out-of-state sellers who come forward before the Department identifies them — it limits lookback exposure and can reduce or waive penalties.
- Lookback
- Generally 3 years under a VDA — versus a longer exposure if the Department contacts you first
- Penalties
- May be waived or reduced under the program for disclosed periods
- Interest
- Still due on underpaid tax — interest relief is not typically part of the Wyoming VDA
- Unfiled returns
- No statute of limitations runs until a return is filed; disclosing voluntarily limits your back-period exposure
