I just reread the instructions on the Form. If line 4 is zero or positive you incldue a copy of the form with the return. If it is negative and all losses are allowed (example active participation under 25k with low income) you don't include the 8582 with the return. This is how my software is doing it, which tells me I am reading the instructions correctly. To me, this makes no sense!
