I recently traveled to participate in on-site interviews for a job at a company with whom I am not employed. I incurred expenses for gasoline and hotel -- which the company agreed to pay. In order to be reimbursed for my expenses, I have been asked to complete an expense report and to submit a 1099 so that "I can be set up in the system."

Is it appropriate for me to have to complete a 1099 in this circumstance? If the answer is yes, should the company be supplying me the form? Or should I simply obtain from the IRS site?

I thought this to be a rather unusual request.
