I have 2 kids and my fsa paid day care for 1. how do I claim both?

TurboTax is telling me "You have $4110 of employer provided care  benefits. In order to receive this credit, your expenses below must be  more than this amount." I paid $4110 for my daughter and $3495 for my son. TurboTax is only giving me $3495.

If you receive dependent care benefits that you can deduct or exclude from your income, the IRS requires you to subtract this amount from the dollar limit of the Child and Dependent Care Credit that applies to you. The dollar limit for two or more children is $6,000. You can only use $1,890 for the credit ($6,000 - $4,110 = $1,890.)

For more information, see Reduced Dollar Limit in IRS Pub 503: Child and Dependent Care Expenses.
