I was told it was the same number by a person who was not qualified, were they right?

Yes.
Your FEIN (Federal Employer Identification Number), EIN or Federal Tax Id are one and the same.
When I ask employers for their FEIN, they ask 'the EIN?'
I tell them that they're the same or just 'yes'.
Your personal tax id is your social security number.
It can confuse some people as both numbers are 9-digits long.

Your FEIN is your Federal Employer Identification Number. For business purposes, it's your Tax ID. For your personal tax return, your SSN is your Tax ID.

Federal Tax ID number is the same as EIN, also known as Employer Identification Number. You need it to run a business.

FEIN # is an unfamiliar term...do you mean SS #? If so, they are a match.
