What is the difference between a EIN number, a TIN number and a federal entity number?
Nothing. EIN stands for Employer Identification Number. TIN:stands for Taxpayer Identification Number. (To make it more confusing, it is sometimes referred to as federal entity number.) It’s issued by the IRS and is like a Social Security Number for businesses. (Bit of trivia, prior to 2001, the first two digits referred to the geographic location of the business.) WSU’s number is 41-1687554.
