Question: what is a TIN and a EIN are they different number or they are the same?

I am confuse on this two things, what is a TIN (tax Identification Number) and a EIN (employer Identification number) are they the same? or different numbers, how do you use one and the other if they are different?

Answer: A TIN technically refers to ANY number that identifies a taxpayer to the IRS. For individual citizens, that is your SSN. For businesses, it is their EIN. The term TIN is usually used to refer to numbers assigned to individual taxpayers that are not eligible for a SSN.
