You can consider a "Cash Liquidation Distribution" as similar to a a Return of Capital.  That is, in your own records you reduce the basis of the stock that paid the distribution.  If cumulative distributions of this sort drive the basis "below" $0 at that point you'd report the "negative basis" amount as proceeds against a basis of $0 on Form 8949, creating a capital gain that would flow to Schedule D.
