Tax ID for most individuals is your SS number. Tax ID for businesses is called Tax ID, but is essentially a SS number-except a business cannot of course draw SS benefits when "it" gets older like an individual can.
In answer to your question- yes, you use your SS number if they are asking for YOUR tax id number (as opposed to your business's tax id number for example)

Your SSN is you personal TAX id. It is the number that the IRS tracks your wage earnings and tax withholdings. A Tax id is give to a corporation so that the IRS can track the wages paid by an employer to employees and tax withholdings of that company. Also, some people who are not US citizens or legal residents get tax id since they do not have SSN but in effect it does the same thing as a SSN.

A SSN is only for citizens and legal residents. Others can apply for a TAX ID for work purposes only.

I believe that they are the same thing. I believe the Tax ID is for people without a SSN; legal aliens. I would contact the SSN office nearest you to get a better picture.

It depends on what type of company you are starting. If it is a sole proprietorship then you can set the company up with your SS#. If you are setting up an LLC or Corporation you would need to get a Federal Tax ID number from the IRS.
check www.irs.gov for more information or consult a local attorney or CPA.
