The bold above is incorrect. Quite wrong for a self employed person. For the self employed, "current income" is the number on the "total income" line of the latest federal tax return. For the employed, it's the gross for a full pay period, times the number of pay periods in a year. In some cases that might be what is expected for 2025, but not in all cases. Nowhere in the instructions is "expected in the current calendar year" mentioned. It's not current year income. It's current income. The OP's question cannot be properly answered without knowing whether they are employed or self employed.
