DCF Standard Procedure For Company Part-Way Through FY

Title says it all. I am currently trying to build a DCF to practice and to hopefully get a role in equity research. The company I am looking at is currently in Q4 of its fiscal year and just reported Q3 earnings.

So, how should I build my DCF? Should I begin my forecast with the current FY even though the fiscal year is almost over? Or should I use TTM?
