@Paul Newcome Thanks for the tip. It worked, however, now after the year change it doesn't work for December when we're in January. Any idea how I can fix this?

@paddy Try this:
=IF(MONTH([Date Column]@row) = IF(MONTH(TODAY()) = 1, 12, MONTH(TODAY()) - 1), 1)

Hi @Paul Newcome, would you mind explaining how this formula works?
Thank you,

If the MONTH of the date in [Date Column]@row is equal to 12 or the Month of TODAY minus 1 depending on the MONTH of TODAY, then output 1.

Thank you @Paul Newcome
