The Texas taxpayer number and the Employer Identification Number (EIN) are not the same. The Texas taxpayer number is assigned by the Texas Comptroller's office for state tax purposes, while the EIN is a federal number issued by the IRS for identifying a business entity for federal tax purposes. While both numbers are used for tax identification, they serve different jurisdictions and purposes.
