Year Start Date, Range

Enter the start date and end date of the current year (for example, 01/01/04). Use the date that represents the first day of the year on which you wish to base your year-to-date totals. The year starting with the date in this field is either a calendar year or a fiscal year. The default value is the first day of the year associated with the current period in the Accounting Periods File, but it can be overwritten.

The Year Start/End Dates are also used to determine which posted payroll transactions to use during the calculation of the W-2 information.
