One variable can have only one value. So if you want four different values then you need four different variables:

vStartDateCurrentYear: =MonthStart(Max(MyDateField))
vEndDateCurrentYear: =MonthEnd(Max(MyDateField))
vStartDateLastYear: =MonthStart(Max(MyDateField),-12)
vEndDateLastYear: =MonthEnd(Max(MyDateField),-12)
