I have a dependent care account through work for which I contributed and claimed $2000 for my child's daycare in 2019.  Overall, I had paid $6000 for my child's daycare.

 

In the question "Pick a dependent and a provider, and tell us how much you paid." under "child and Dependent care credit" section.  Do I enter $6000 (total amount) or $4000 (total amount - what I had contributed through the dependent care account)?

You would enter the total amount that was paid.  For your example, enter $6000.
