Like you, I zero out income and expense accounts every year. But it's
not necessary to do that to see the totals for the current year. That's
always possible on the Accounts pane, assuming you've set your
accounting period to start and end with the start and end of this year.
(That's in Edit » Preferences » Accounting Period.)

To show the current period income and expenses in the Accounts pane,
clock the triangle at the extreme right of the headings and tick "Total
(Period)".
