The whole point to the credit that your employer paid you is that it is tax free. They have entered an amount on your W2 as a tax free benefit as well as in your gross compensation. That is wrong.
You are correct that the TurboTax software has this as a limitation. Your W2 is wrong and the system isn't designed to handle that.
Your employer gave you $3562 in compensation out of the dependent care account. That is something that they need to fix.
But @BillM223 is right - if you send in this return without matching it to the numbers on the W2 you will likely see a huge delay and a letter from the IRS.
The best way around this is to paper file the return if your employer absolutely will not adjust the W2. Attach an explanation that $3562 of the dependent care benefits was included in taxable income. Then your employer can deal with the letters from the IRS.
