When you receive a liquidating distribution what it means is that you are receiving back some of the money that you put into the investment.  Your basis is what you put in to start, box 9 represents them giving you some of that money back.  It isn't taxable until they have given you back all of the money that you put in and then give you money on top of that.  In your case that doesn't seem to apply so you can move on and not worry about it.
