Where on the tax return do you put the flex spending amount?

I could not figure out where to plug in the flex spending amount on my tax return. It should be deducted from my income.

You don't enter the Flex Spending amount into TurobTax. The Flex Spending amount is deducted from your W-2 Box 1 Wages, Tips, Other Compensation amount, that is reported by your employer.  

Part of a Flex Spending amount could be Dependent Care Benefits. They are reflected on your W-2 Box 10.
