Do I include the total amount I paid for dependent care even if I used FSA funds when entering the Total dependent care expenses or do I subtract the FSA funds I used?

I had $4169.34 in total child care costs, I paid $4000 of that from my FSA. Do I enter 4169.34 or 169.34 for the Total dependent care expenses? I see it says Be sure to include money paid from a FSA or cafeteria plan but I am confused.

enter the total you paid. the $4,000  should show up in box 10 of your W-2 and thus reduce the eligible expenses by that amount
