Your Form 8995 Line 3 is tracking a loss on your Schedule C from 2018, to offset against any 2019 Schedule C income, as a part of your QBI deduction calculation. You should be able to correlate this Line 3 number with losses (from your Schedule C and any other QBI income) in 2018.
Your Schedule C makes you eligible for the Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction, which allows certain small businesses to deduct 20% of net income. But, to calculate the deduction, losses from the prior year are used to offset any current year income.
