@drewgale1234 thank you for the question.   Many businesses choose to register in states that are not their state of residence, so this question is a good one.

 

If you have a single member LLC it can be a disregarded entity for Federal and by extension state tax purposes.  That means that there is no business (1065 or 1120 S tax return filed).  All the income and expenses are either filed on a Schedule C or E depending on the activity. 

So, Wyoming has no entity tax for corporations, nor does it have a state income tax, so other than keeping the registration up to date with Wyoming that it is it.

 

So, the following is applicable if you filed as a disregarded entity.  You would file in the state that you were a resident of, which based upon what you wrote is probably Carolina.   North Carolina, Oregon, and Utah all have source income rules as well.   You would get credit for taxes paid to Oregon and Utah on your North Carolina resident return.  Your business income would have to be allocated to each state, if you did business in the state, though more than likely since it appears you were a North Carolina resident, you treated it as North Carolina source.

 

So, my question to you is did you file as a disregarded entity on your personal return or did you file a Form 1065, for a partnership, or an 1120-S for an S-Corp?  If you answer this, I can provide more detail.
