When you implement Custom Fiscal Year, you will get additional option:
Fiscal Period

This FP
Next FP
Current and Previous FP
Current and Next FP

Fiscal Week
Last FW
This FW
Next FW


Use Case 1: get all opportunities with Close Date = Last 3 months, example: now = 11 Dec 2014.
So, we would like to show all opportunities close date from 1 Sep 2014 – 30 Nov 2014.
With above available Time Frame option, we do not have option to filter by Last 3 Months.

Solution:
In the Time Frame, leave it Custom and set both From and To = blank
Add a filter Close Date equals LAST 3 MONTHS
See this blog for sample of using Relative Date Value


Use Case 2: get all opportunities with Close Date = Year-to-date (YTD), as of Wikipedia, YTD = Year-to-date is a period, starting from the beginning of the current year, and continuing up to the present day.  
With above available Time Frame option, we do not have option to filter by YTD.

Solution:
In the Time Frame, leave it Custom and set both From and To = blank
Add a custom formula field in Opportunity with return type = Chekcbox, applied this formula YEAR(Today()) = YEAR(CloseDate) && Today() >= CloseDate
Example the field name is YTD, use this field as report filter YTD equals True
