Freelance Work in California

I work as a freelancer for several different companies ( MTurk, content writer, website testing, etc. ) and made just over $2,000 for the portion of work I completed while in California ( I moved from another state ).  There is a section titled "Limitation on Business Income" and it's showing a total of $259,000. I understand that my freelance work is considered a business but I have no idea where this amount is coming from or how to get rid of it since I have no business losses.  

I also am at a loss as to where exactly to input my income as a freelancer. Under the "Employees and Independent Contractors," section it says to input income earned as an "employee," which I am not considered. When I tried inputing my income into this field anyways, it bumped up the "Limitation on Business Income" amount to $263,140. 

Any help would be much appreciated!
