My company recently provided services to a customer on an insurance job. We cleaned up after a fire and fixed their house and the insurance company was to send a check to the customer with their and our name on it. To have the payment processed we had to provide out FEIN, and their paperwork shows that they will be sending us a 1099 for 2018 taxes. No other insurance agency has requested this information.

Is this normal? We will already be reporting the income, so why might they be sending it?
