If you are receiving a return of prinipal, you do not need to report it, but you needn't worry about the date and amount. If it's a return of principal, meaning what you paid originally, then your cost basis is the same as the proceeds. The date wouldn't matter, it could be anything because the date is only used to determine if it's taxed as a long-term or short-term holding period. Since you owe no tax on this, the holding period doesn't matter.
