Do I need to fill out Part 1 Question 1 (Amount You Owe) on the CA tax form 540-X?

I'm trying to amend my tax return to add a 1099-MISC. I made it through the federal part okay but for my CA state return I'm trying to figure out what information I might need to enter. It autopopulated based on the information I entered for my federal return but then it took me to the form and I'm not sure if I need to enter information for the first question. The way Part 1 Question 1 sounds I was thinking I would have to add the amount showing in TurboTax in that box but when I did the amount it's saying I owe doubled. Do I need to enter the amount I'm supposed to owe in that box? I tried to include a screenshot of the question I'm talking about on the form.

No.  Since you prepared the Federal Form 1040X, all of that information should have rolled over to the state return to accurately prepare that return.  You should not have to make any adjustments.
