And Social Security?

No. Wyoming has no individual income tax. The Wyoming Social Security page quotes the rule.

Federal tax still applies

Whatever Wyoming does, pensions, annuities and traditional IRA or 401(k) withdrawals are generally taxable on your federal return. See the federal tax brackets and, if you are 73 or older, the required minimum distribution calculator.

State rules change, and the details (age limits, income limits, which plans qualify) matter. Check with State of Wyoming before you file or move.
