Why does this keep telling me task 1 is no longer passing?

I get a pass for task 1 for creating the function. Then step two has me add the code to the function code block and asks to return that variable from the function.. which should be return year;

no?

script.js 
function getYear () {
  var year = new Date().getFullyear();
  return year;
}
