You don't show what you tried so we can't explain what you are doing wrong.
If I needed to get the 1st day of the previous year, I would take the current year, subtract the number of days from 1 and then subtract a year.
With DATEADD, the first day of last would be:
=DATEADD("yy", 1, DATEADD("d", 1 - DATEPART("dy", TODAY), TODAY))
While the last day is actually simpler:
=DATEADD("d", 0 - DATEPART("dy", TODAY), TODAY)
You can use DATESERIAL() to do this easily
DateSerial just take 3 integer values (year, month, day) to return a date.
First day
=DateSerial( year(today()) - 1, 1, 1)
Last Day
=DateSerial( year(today()) - 1, 12, 31)
