Am I missing something here? I feel that my code is correct however continue to get the bummer message that task 1 is no longer passing and am unable to move forward.

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

getYear();
var yearToday = getYear();
}

Try removing the extra call to getYear(); You only need the last one where you are assigning it to the variable.
