Deductions & credits

I recommend that you view the imported W2 to make sure Box 10 has $5,000 for DCFSA.  Based on what you said above, it doesn't sound like your $5,000 DCFSA is not being taken into account.

If you only have 1 child, there should not be an extra credit calculating for the Child and Dependent Care Credit.

If you have 2 or more children, you would be eligible for the Child and Dependent Care Credit based on $1,000. (Maximum child care expenses for 2 or more children is $6,000 - $5,000 FSA)

The credit ranges between 35% & 20%, so your maximum credit would be between $200 and $350 credit.  ($1,000 x 20% = $200).
