Since a Dependent Care FSA account is a pre-tax account to help pay for dependent care expenses, you are already getting a tax benefit. When it comes to preparing your taxes Double-dipping is not allowed, meaning you cannot take advantage of both getting a tax benefit on the FSA account and also claiming the Child Care Dependent Credit.
You can still claim the Child Care Dependent Credit, if you used out-of-pocket money in excess of the FSA funds. For example, the maximum allowed to claim for expenses for one child is $3,000, or $6,000 for 2, if the total expenses were 3,000 and you used 2,000 from your FSA, and the remaining was out-of pocket, then you could only use 1,000 to qualify for the credit.
Therefore, if you paid in full using FSA funds you will not be eligible to claim the Child Care Dependent Credit. If this is your case, you can remove the credit altogether from your return. Below are some helpful links
