For in present perfect tense

I am an English teacher in Turkey.Last week one of my students clamied that "for" can be used before "the last year" and any other time expressions started with "the". I haven't seen anything like that before. If this is correct, I want to enrich my knowledge. If not, so there is no problem for me. Could you please help me about this subject?..
Thanks from now

Anonymous "for" can be used before "the last year" True, but, as for any expression, it depends on context. I have the accounts for all years but the last. I need the accounts for the last year.
