It doesn't sound that confusing to me. You accept the job on date X and agree to start work on date Y; between X and Y+1, you must fill in this part of the form.
It's not uncommon to have a gap between accepting a job and starting it (in tech, at least), that's what I did as I wanted to take some time off between jobs.
