The cost of the generator or other qualifying property, not the home itself.  For ore information, see Energy Star.gov   Tax Credit includes installation costs.   The maximum credit is $500 per half kilowatt (kW) of power capacity.   The fuel cell  must have a nameplate capacity of at least 0.5 kW of electricity using an electrochemical process and an electricity-only generation efficiency greater than 30%.   The home served by the system MUST be the taxpayer's principal residence.   In case of joint occupancy, the maximum qualifying costs that can be taken into account by all occupants for figuring the credit is $1,667 per 0.5 kW. This does not apply to married individuals filing a joint return. The credit that may be claimed by each individual is proportional to the costs he/she paid.

After you enter you Form 1099-R, you will be on the "Review your 1099-R info".  Make sure you click on "Continue" from there.  There will be a series of questions.  One of those questions will be "Any Nondeductible Contributions to Your IRA".  You need to answer Yes  so you can enter your $10,000 of after tax contributions.  On the next page you will enter $10,000.  Continue through the questions.  Your IRA distributions should now show only the $986 gain as taxable income.

Generally, the maximum amount of your refund is the amount you paid in unless you qualify for refundable credits such as Earned Income Credit, Additional Child Tax Credit, or American Opportunity Tax Credit. You state that you did not have any federal amounts withheld. Did you qualify for one of these credits and were you expecting a refund?   TurboTax does not receive updates on refund status. Per the IRS website, Where's My Refund has the latest information on your return. If you don't have internet, call the automated refund hotline at 800-829-1954 for a current-year refund or 866-464-2050 for an amended return.   @sierrajcurry
