Yes, the pretax dollars you contribute are factored into the dependent care credit when you enter your W-2. Later, you can enter the amounts paid for dependent care to a qualified caregiver and TurboTax then populates your allowable credit. It may not be the full $3,000 depending on other factors, but TurboTax will report the highest credit you are allowed given your specific situation.
