Deductions & credits

Q.  Am I allowed to have both the 2 credits and the DCFSA?

A. Yes, as long as the total $ limit is not exceeded.

 

TurboTax (TT) will handle this on IRS form 2441.  You may only count a maximum of $6000 of child care expenses, for the credit, when you have 2 or more kids. That $6000 must be reduced but the amount of DCB/DCFSA money used.  You say you put in $2000, so $4000 is the maximum you can claim for the Dependent Care Credit.
