How can I find out what I earned last year? (self employed)

Hello,

I recently closed my business account after they did some silly charges. (I got the charges refunded).

I stupidly forgot to get all my statements but I have now ordered them all from the account opening to closure.

I've just turned 25 and I'm eligible for working tax credits but I'm not sure on the exact amount I earned last year.

I've logged into my HMRC account but I can only seem to find how much tax I paid in previous years and not a self assessment summary.

Yes I know I should have kept better records etc, I realise this now. Is there any easy way of doing this or will I have to recalculate it from my past statements?

I know the ballpark figure I earned but I guess it needs to be the exact amount I put on the self assessment for when I apply for working tax credit.

Thanks all.

    I'm an idiot. I've just found how to view old returns through the website.
