$5000 for child care expense through my employer

So, questions.  I work for a company that has many "legal entities" it owns.  I worked for Merrill for 6 months, then transitioned roles to Bank of America July 1.  So 6 months in each role.  This is one company, but the change means i get 2 W2s.  

 

My Merrill W2, excludes the $5000 in child care reimbursement from taxes, and everything over, got added to box 1 on my W2 (and was taxed appropriately through payroll).

 

My BOA W2, (even though it is a separate EIN) understands that the $5000 was already excluded from taxes, so all of my child care reimbursement (was taxed appropriately through payroll) is added to box 1 on my W2.

 

Turbo tax, thinks that since it is a new company, that the BOA is also holding back $5000 from box 1 on my W2, so they are adding it back into my wages.

 

Basically i am getting taxed twice on that $5000.  How do i account for this on my turbo tax return.

Thank you in advance!
