The amount in box 10 for dependent care benefits is not included in box 1 (your taxable wages). The amount is in box 10 to exclude it from box 1 and to add it to your form 2441 for the Child and Dependent Care Credit calculations.
The amount in box 10 will show as "paid" and deducted from any child care costs, up to $6000 for two or more children, you had. Any remaining costs of child care can be used for the Childcare credit.
