you could use a filter that looks at your dates in the Selection Formula, here you could check if the date is between the 2 dates you want, or you you could see if there a field for fiscal year and use that, or you could create a stored procedure  or a view that would return the data that you are looking for a given fiscal year.
 
All are really the same thing, you are just filtering out all the 'bad' records and keeping the good.

if you put in the fiscal year dates, and then you sum, it should give the fiscal year total. 
 
Are you using a function to do the summing or some type of grouping?

When you use 1/04/05 to 31/03/09 as your parameters, are you trying to select data for 5 financial years ?  Does your report run correctly if you select only 1 financial year ?  (1/04/05 to 31/03/06)

How do you break out each year when you select 5 years at a time ?  Are you looking for a year change or do you have a series of if statements checking to see if the record is between certain dates ?

 
I know I have a lot of questions but it is difficult to exactly see your problem.

My guess is you are grouping on the date field and have it set to year.
You could create a formula to display a different string for each FY and then group on that instead.
