Abstract: In this paper we consider the theta correspondence between the sets $\operatorname{Irr} (\operatorname{GSp} (2,k))$ and $\operatorname{Irr} (\operatorname{GO} (X))$ when $k$ is a nonarchimedean local field and $\dim _{k} X =4$. Our main theorem determines all the elements of $\operatorname{Irr} (\operatorname{GO} (X))$ that occur in the correspondence. The answer involves distinguished representations. As a corollary, we characterize all the elements of $\operatorname{Irr} (\operatorname{O} (X))$ that occur in the theta correspondence between $\operatorname{Irr} (\operatorname{Sp} (2,k))$ and $\operatorname{Irr} (\operatorname{O} (X))$. We also apply our main result to prove a case of a new conjecture of S.S. Kudla concerning the first occurrence of a representation in the theta correspondence.
