Deductions & credits

Correct

 

Because funds in a FSA are "pre-tax" you are not paying income tax on that amount of earnings. 

Since you never paid incomes tax on that amount in the first place (there was no tax withheld) you cannot deduct medical expenses payed through the FSA against your tax liability on your return.
