From Websters:
a horizontal piece (as a board) covering the joint between the top of a wall and the projecting eaves —called also fascia board
sof•fit
noun \ˈsä-fət\
: the underside of a part or member of a building (as of an overhang or staircase)
Sounds like the fascia is only a board at the wall intersection and the soffit is the entire underside of the overhang.
Easy to be confused.
