Date of Year, Range

Specify the Start Date and End Date of the current calendar year (for example, 01/01/97). Use the date that represents the first day of the year on which  to base year-to-date totals. The default value is January 1 of the year prior to the current year (as defined in your system settings). This value can be overwritten.

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