How can I get this code to work? Having issues with it being "mocked"

There was an error with this code. It is basics to using functions. Does anyone have an idea?

script.js 
function getYear() { 
  var year = new Date().getFullYear();
  return year();
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

Remove the parenthesis on line 3. 

function getYear() { 
  var year = new Date().getFullYear();
  return year;
}
