current year
This calendar period
Current year refers to whichever year it presently is, used in contexts where the specific number matters less than its contemporaneity: file your current year taxes, current year models are now available.
The phrase also appears sarcastically online to mock appeals to modernity as argument: It's the current year! How can you still believe that? —implying that citing the date alone doesn't prove progress or settle debates.
