For the Child Care Tax Credit, Turbotax doesn't ask if the payments were made through an FSA. Other than a question about having an unspent balance, it didn't ask me details about my FSA anywhere else either. Do I enter the total & Turbotax figures it out, or do I just have to know to enter only expenses that were not paid with FSA dollars?
If so, that's a big shortcoming on Turbotax's part.

Your FSA amount is included in Box 10 of your W-2. If you enter the amount in Box 10, the program will ask you a couple of questions in the W-2 input screens regarding child care and your FSA.
The program will then automatically take your FSA amount from Box 10 of your W-2 into account for calculating your Child Care Tax Credit.
