A taxpayer identification number (TIN) is used by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and by the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) in the administration of tax laws.
UCLA has a federal employer identification number (EIN) and state employer account number (EAN). Individuals must have a TIN if they are either employed by UCLA, or they are receiving a service payment or scholarship/fellowship. An individual is not eligible for employment unless s/he has an individual taxpayer ID number or Social Security number.
