While the first month of the year is Nissan, (Which is the month that Passover is in. Passover is the 15th of Nissan.) the years begin in Tishray, the 7th month of the year. Rosh Ha'Shanah is the beginning of the year, and therefor in the 7th month, Tishray. In the Tanakh, the months are counted as Nissan being number one, since it is.
