I want the years since a date and today. I tried this function:
=YEARS(7/16/2012,TODAY(),1)
but it returns 1900.

Your first argument is 7 divided by 16 divided by 2,012. This is approximately 0.00022, representing - as a date and time - nineteen seconds after midnight on the date origin. So I'd expect the result to be 115. But in any case it won't have anything to do with a date in July 2012.

The arguments of YEARS() need to be numeric dates, so I think you need something like
=YEARS(DATE(2012,7,16),TODAY(),1)
or
=YEARS(DATEVALUE("7/16/2012"),TODAY(),1)

I trust this helps.
