Flexible spending accounts don't enter into your federal tax form. Those accounts are handled by your employer or their designated agent. Is there some specific reason you are concerned about your FSA?

I have entered all of my Childcare expenses for three children that qualify
my qualifying Childcare expenses are $20,000
initially Turbo tax is telling me that we get a $1,200 tax credit - but I know this is not correct because I will loose $1,000 of this credit because I contributed and used $5,000 to a flexible spending account for dependent care via my employer
Where in turbo tax do I enter FSA dependent care dollars so it will properly reduce my child care tax credit down to $200 by reducing the $6,000 of expenses to be consider by the $5,000 FSA deductions from my paycheck ( can not double dip ) so that only $1,000 is considered for the tax credit which in my case will be a $200 tax credit
If my employer has not deducted my FSA from my gross wages, where do I enter that on my 1040 tax form?
These contributions are generally reported in box 12 of your W2 and reduce box 1 wages. If this was not reported correctly by your employer, you will need to request a corrected W2. There is no way to deduct these amounts on your return.
