The only thing that I can suggest (because I can't see all of the details of your return) is going back to your 2016 return, where the loss generated, and reviewing the forms that went with that return, including checking if the "materially participated" box was checked for that year, and if an 8552 was produced for 2016. If this was a disallowed loss in 2016, it makes no sense to see the loss on line 12 of your 2016 return. It would show a zero. If your 2016 was incorrect, you should amend it. And you should start your 2017 return fresh without transferring this information from 2016, or at least delete the 8552 in your return.

But that's really all I can think of without seeing all the details of your return, which is beyond the scope of this forum.
