Does having a Wyoming LLC mean I only collect Wyoming sales tax?

Your LLC formation state has nothing to do with sales tax. Sales tax is based on where your customers are, not where you registered your business. Wyoming LLC doesn't give you any special sales tax treatment.

This is a common misconception. The LLC is just a legal entity for liability, and privacy. Sales tax nexus is a separate concept. Since you're selling online, you likely have economic nexus in states where you exceed certain sales thresholds. Wyoming itself has a low threshold, so you'll definitely need to collect there if you have any significant sales to WY customers.

So if I have a Wyoming LLC but I live in Texas, do I collect Texas sales tax? I'm in a similar boat.

Yes, if you're operating from Texas or have nexus there, you'd collect Texas tax for Texas customers. The Wyoming LLC doesn't change that. Your physical location usually creates nexus.

I use a registered agent in Wyoming and an online marketplace for my sales. The marketplace collects and remits sales tax for me in most states. Might be worth looking into if you want to avoid the hassle. But if you sell on your own website, you're on your own.

You can use tax software like TaxJar or Avalara to help monitor thresholds and calculate taxes. It's not free, but it's better than getting hit with penalties later.

Don't forget about local sales taxes too. Some states have county and city taxes on topp of state. Wyoming has local taxes as well, so you need to be careful about the exact rate for each customer's address.

Also, if you have inventory stored in a fulfillment center in another state, that crea tes physical nexus there and you'll have to collect tax for customers in that state. Amazon FBA sellers deal with this all the time.
