As a note side, it's stupid that the childcare FSA max is only $5,000 for MFJ.

Use the FSA on other expenses if you have them, win-win.

How does this impact taxes? I know the FSA is pretax

Looks like if you use your childcare FSA, you lose your childcare tax credit

Thank you. I thought the child tax credit was $2,000

You still get the child tax credit for each child. This is a childcare tax
