The key difference here is the OP is self-employed. As such, their current income is from their tax return. Money earned mid-year is considered revenue, not income, until claimed as such on the tax return. This differs from an employee, which has income immediately.

 

Current income is still king. Sometimes they want to see that the income is stable, which a tax return can help substantiate (even if it was from another income source in the past).

Good point. I'm too busy looking at the process through the lense of person like me "working for the man" not self-employed.
