I received a 1099-misc. but I did work to earn the money. should I still file this as a 1099-misc?

Form 1099-MISC was the form used until two years ago to record non-employee income. It is still used. Your income should be reported on a 1099-NEC.  You can use the 1099-MISC for income on Schedule C for your business as a licensed massage therapist.
