What is 911?
The Next Generation 911 Access Fee Registration is the Ohio Department of Taxation form on which a taxpayer registers, with the date it started or will start collecting the NG 9-1-1 Access Fee and relationship information about its officers, partners or members.
The form is numbered 911 and carries the revision date Rev. 01/24. It prints its title with hyphens, as Next Generation 9-1-1 Access Fee Registration, and NG in the text stands for Next Generation. The Ohio Department of Taxation is the issuing agency; its P.O. Box and website, tax.ohio.gov, appear in the header of both pages.
It has two pages:
- Page 1, registration: a New application box with the date collection starts (MM/DD/YY), the federal employer identification number (FEIN) or, if there is no FEIN, a Social Security number, the type of organization, NAICS code and Ohio charter number, the legal name, any trade name or DBA, the primary address and contact information.
- Page 2, Relationship Information: completed by all registrants. It names the filer and lists each officer, general partner, managing partner or member with name, Social Security number and address, followed by a signed declaration that the information is true and correct to the best of the signer's knowledge and belief.
The form is a registration only. It does not report or pay the fee, and it prints no fee amount.
Who needs to file 911?
The form is for taxpayers that have started, or will start, collecting the NG 9-1-1 Access Fee in Ohio: the form asks for the date you started or will start collecting. The form does not itself say which businesses must collect the fee, so confirm that with the Ohio Department of Taxation.
Groups the form addresses:
- Entities. Page 1 lists these types of organization, of which you check only one: Association/trust, C corporation, LLC, LLP, LTD (non-U.S.), Partnership (other than LLP), QSSS, S corporation, Single-member LLC, Sole proprietorship, or Other (with a description).
- Sole proprietors. Give your name on line 3B (last name, first name, M.I.) and use your Social Security number if you have no FEIN.
- All registrants. Page 2, Relationship Information, is completed by every registrant, listing each officer, general partner, managing partner or member. The form's footnote defines officers as the president, vice president, secretary, treasurer or statutory agent.
- Agents. The signature block asks for the name of the applicant or agent, so an agent may sign for the applicant.
Entities with a principal office outside the United States give the country in the space provided.
When to file 911
The triggering event is the start of collecting the NG 9-1-1 Access Fee. The form asks for the date when you started or will start collecting, entered as MM/DD/YY, and it has a New application box for a first registration. This means you can complete it before collection begins as well as after.
No due date is printed on the form, and it names no renewal cycle or validity period. For any deadline that applies to your situation, ask the Ohio Department of Taxation; the form's header gives its P.O. Box 530, Columbus, OH 43216-0530 address and the website tax.ohio.gov, and the department publishes its forms at tax.ohio.gov/forms.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Completing the form in pencil; the form says to use black or blue ink and not to use pencil.
- Checking more than one type of organization on line 1; the form says to check only one.
- Leaving line 3B blank when the registrant is a sole proprietor; the form tells sole proprietors to complete 3B with last name, first name and M.I.
- Entering a Social Security number in place of a FEIN when the registrant has a FEIN; the form asks for the SSN only if there is no FEIN.
- Skipping page 2; Relationship Information is to be completed by all registrants.
- Writing the start date in another format; the form asks for MM/DD/YY for the date collecting began or will begin and for the signature date.
- Submitting the declaration unsigned, or without the printed name of the applicant or agent.
- Filling in the mailing address when it is the same as the primary address; the form asks for it only if it is different.
