Can I claim both dependent fsa and childcare credit? I set aside $1200 in dependent fsa for 2017 and still spent $3100 out of pocket for childcare.

Yes, you are still eligible to claim the Child Care Credit for part of your out of pocket Child Care Expenses.  The maximum eligible Child Care Expense allowed per child is $3,000.  

So for example, if you have one child, $1,800 of your Child Care Expenses will be used to calculate the Child Care Credit on Form 2441 [$3,000 limit per child - $1,200 FSA = $1,800].

See the TurboTax FAQ for more details about getting the Child Care Credit below:
