First day of the year last year

Hi, i am trying to write a simple formula that calculates the first day of the year last year. So it will always be the 01/01/"Prior Year"

 

So far i have got below, however this just is for this year. Any ideas what i am doing wrong?

 

First Day of Prior Year = DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),1,1)
