It depends on where you cross each state's economic nexus threshold (or have physical presence there). Utah's published threshold is $100,000, and Wyoming's is $100,000. You generally register in a state only once you cross its threshold, so you may have an obligation in one, both, or neither.

Utah — nexus note

Utah sales tax nexus and economic nexus threshold: remote sellers must collect and pay Utah sales tax when, in the previous or current calendar year, they receive gross revenue of more than $100,000 from sales of tangible personal property, products transferred electronically, or services for storage, use, or consumption in Utah. The remote-seller requirement originally applied to sales on or after January 1, 2019; before July 1, 2025, Utah also used a 200-separate-transaction test. Marketplace sellers generally do not need a Utah sales tax license for facilitated marketplace sales unless they have Utah nexus and make sales outside a marketplace. Marketplace facilitators are treated as the seller for facilitated goods and services and are subject to Utah sales tax when they make or facilitate more than $100,000 of Utah sales in the previous or current calendar year.

Wyoming — nexus note

Wyoming sales tax nexus and economic nexus threshold: effective July 1, 2024, an out-of-state seller without Wyoming physical presence must remit Wyoming sales tax once gross revenue from taxable tangible personal property, admissions, or services delivered into Wyoming exceeds $100,000 in the current or immediately preceding calendar year. Wyoming repealed the prior 200-transaction test, so the current remote-seller trigger is sales-only. Marketplace facilitators are treated as vendors for facilitated marketplace sales and must collect and remit Wyoming sales tax on sales they facilitate into Wyoming, subject to the remote-seller limitations in W.S. 39-15-501.
