I received for 2017 a 1099B-proceeds from broker & barter exchange transactions covering 1995 nonsecured note partial payout of principal, how handle?

I acquired in early year 2000 ABFS nonsecured note, they closed, attorneys recovered some of the money issuing a 1099b for 2017 funds received, it equals pennies on the dollars invested, how handle this partial repayment of principal in TurboTax Premier?
