Taylor's series method to solve first order first degree ODE

Can someone help with how to solve first order first degree ODE using Taylor's series method? I am able to find derivatives but unable to substitute the values at given initial condition.
I have typed the code as below,
clear
clc
syms x y(x)
x0 = 0;
y0 = 1;
y1 = x^2*y-1;
y2 = diff(y1);
y3 = diff(y2);
y4 = diff(y3);
y10 = subs(y1,x,0);
y20 = subs(y2,x,0);
y30 = subs(y3,x,0);
y40 = subs(y4,x,0);
%Taylor's Method
y = y0 + (x-x0)*y10 +(((x-x0)^2)/2)*y20 + (((x-x0)^3)/6)*y30 + (((x-x0)^4)/24)*y40
And the output is as below.

substitution at x=0 is not working. Kindly help.

Use taylor function
clear
clc
syms x y(x)
x0 = 0;
y0 = 1;
y1 = x^2*y-1;
y2 = diff(y1);
y3 = diff(y2);
y4 = diff(y3);
y10 = subs(y1,x,0);
y20 = subs(y2,x,0);
y30 = subs(y3,x,0);
y40 = subs(y4,x,0);
%Taylor's Method
% y = y0 + (x-x0)*y10 +(((x-x0)^2)/2)*y20 + (((x-x0)^3)/6)*y30 + (((x-x0)^4)/24)*y40
% use taylor
y = y0+taylor(x^2*y-1,x,'ExpansionPoint',0)
