Time Frame to re-qualify for another year

Hey guys I have one question about re-qualifiying for another years elite status, I am currently 75k and because I achieved it recently and Alaska awarded me 75k status until end of 2015, my question is when will I be able to earn Elite Qualified miles toward another years status (2016), beginning of 2015?

Thanks

The first flight you take in 2015 should begin your 2016 status accumulation.

If you fly 75K on AS metal or 90K including partners between 1/1/15 and X/X/15 you have status for the remainder of 2015 and all of 2016. The miles earned in the current year are for next years status but you get the benefits immediately instead of waiting for 2016 for them to kick in.
