I would recommend going to tools and using Close Book to remove the previous 
years TB P&L figures. Then re-run the TB.

I am a little confused. You seem to be talking about a "trial balance" 
and a "date range"/

AFAIK, a trial balance is like the balance sheet. It would have a date, not a 
date range.

PS: Since having begun using computer apps for bookkeeping, I have never 
bothered with a "trial balance". Oh yes I remember those well, but back in the 
days when I was doing bookkeeping pen and ink on paper. Easy to make mistakes 
copying numbers. I have not encountered a single "posting error" when done by 
computer instead of human eye and hand. By which I mane that if something is 
ever entered out of balance, there will be a non-zero amount in the special 
account Imbalance.
