The McNamaras itemized deductions for their federal return last year. Currently, neither Valerie nor Stephen has access to a qualified retirement plan through their work and they have not funded IRAs up to this point in time. They have access to a Section 125 flexible spending account through Valerie's employer. To date, they have not funded the account. Open enrollment is coming up and lasts for the next 30 days.
