@xmasbaby0 Thank you, I think that does explain it. I see contradictory guidance on that point on various websites, some which indicate that the dependent care credit for 1 child is available for up to $3,000 above any amount covered by the FSA. But I found guidance from the FSA that is more clear and consistent with what you stated. For 1 child, the only way to claim any dependent care credit is if you paid less than $3,000 into a dependent care FSA.
