When you redeem a US Treasury note, only the interest earned is taxable, not the return or your original investment.
What's reported to the IRS is the interest portion only, usually on a 1099-INT (or sometimes as interest included with the redemption).
Your original principal isn't income and doesn't get reported on Form 1040.
