Pandas version checks

  • [X] I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • [X] I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • [X] I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import pandas as pd

idx = pd.date_range("2020-10-30", periods=5, freq="BYS")
print(idx)
print(idx.is_year_start)

dates = pd.Series(idx)
print(dates.dt.is_year_start)

Issue Description

This outputs:

DatetimeIndex(['2021-01-01', '2022-01-03', '2023-01-02', '2024-01-01', '2025-01-01'], dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq='BYS-JAN') [ True True True True True] 0 True 1 False 2 False 3 True 4 True dtype: bool

Expected Behavior

it should return the same result in both cases, for DatetimeIndex.is_year_start and Series.dt.is_year_start.
