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.
