TurboTax is not giving tax benefit from childcare FSA contribution. is there a mistake in the calculations?

I spent more than 6000$ on childcare with FSA contribution 600$ (W2 box 10). TurboTax calculated childcare tax credit as (6000-600)*.2= 1080 $. If I put my FSA contribution to 0, my child tax credit becomes 6000*.2= 1200$ and my total taxes drop by 120$ (600*.2). How come there is no any tax benefit from my FSA contribution?

You already received the FSA tax credit because that amount was not included in your taxable income.
