Deductions & credits

I am having the same issue it appears to think that my employer reimbursed us for the childcare. But we were the ones putting the money into the account out of our paycheck pre-tax. There seems to be an error in the program that it deducts the FSA from the tax credit which appears to be wrong. For example we paid $10,800 for childcare, we have 2 children. We put $5000 in an FSA account, the program shows that we had $5800 in out of pocket expenses. ($10800 - $5000). But when you get to the screen it is showing our total eligible Dependent care credit is $6000, dependent care benefit on W2 is -5000 to our total eligible credit is $1000. This is incorrect it should not be subtracted Per the IRS guidelines and it did not occur in prior years.
