It's line 24 on the 1040, but that line on the 1040-SR is the tax penalty.

On the 2019 1040SR your tax liability is on line 16

Thanks, KrisD. Unfortunately, I even more confused now. Your answer makes sense, but I chatted with a live expert before getting this response, and was told that if I didn't have an additional form from last year (I forget the form number), I should put 0 as the tax liability. Before I attempt an amended return, I'd like to know which expert is correct.

The 1040SR has the exact same line numbers as the regular 1040.  What do you need the tax liability for?
