For 2016, Yom Teruah is now! From sundown October 2 to sundown October 4. For an interesting article on Yom Teruah and Rosh Hoshana, see: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/yom-teruah-day-shouting-became-rosh-hashanah
The above article states that Yom Teruah and Yom Kippur is not the start of a new year. It also states that Yom Kippur is merely the blowing of trumpets to call attention to the start of the fifteith year six months later. The NASB states:
“You are also to count off seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years, so that you have the time of the seven sabbaths of years, namely, forty-nine years. You shall then sound a ram’s horn abroad on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the day of atonement you shall sound a horn all through your land. You shall thus consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim a release through the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family. You shall have the fiftieth year as a jubilee; you shall not sow, nor reap its aftergrowth, nor gather in from its untrimmed vines. For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat its crops out of the field.” Leviticus 25:8-12
