Yes, you must report the withdrawals.  Even though they might not be taxable, they count as "income" for certain other calculations.  Also, if you are under age 59-1/2, the IRS may assume your withdrawal is taxable and subject to a penalty unless you certify (by filing) that you are only withdrawing your original contributions, and not earnings.
