Employer has a day care onsite, and I used FSA dependent care to pay for some of it - can I take advantage of child tax credit?

My employer has a daycare onsite, but it's not free (I pay for it).  So I put $2000 towards my FSA to help pay for the bill.  Because of COVID, my children stayed at daycare during the "virtual" school days, rocketing my total bill to $6000. Can I also claim the dependent care credit as well, even though I already put some money towards my FSA?

You can apply the excess money you paid for the child care that is over the amount paid by the FSA  as child care expenses.
