I received a 1099-MISC for money I've already partly declared in a previous year. How do I handle it?

They paid me last year for a New Years Eve performance I did in 2015 (which I declared in 2016)...

... then they sent me another check in 2017 for another performance I did for them again in 2016...

... but then they sent me a 1099-MISC for BOTH performances.

I've already declared the first amount in a previous return.

How do I account for the missing amount if I use the 1099-MISC?

Do I just ignore the 1099-MISC, and just declare the latest income?

No don't ignore it.  You can enter the 2015 amount as a misc other expense and call something like Reported on prior year return.
