I have absolutely no idea what the stuff about a J guy or a MB type means. I only came here to correct your wrong advice as "finance guy" If you are not a qualified CPA or tax lawyer maybe you should say so when you tell people how to do their taxes which is what you did in your post about a tax return problem. You even advised us that we should ignore the wash sale information the brokerage house sends us as you believe it is a grey area we can override. Pretty specific suggestion to ignore the experts from someone who now says he's not a professional in the field.

I have not misrepresented my self as a professional tax return preparation guy, I have merely stated what I have done, and if people don't understand the difference between an accountant, and finance, then that is on them not being professionals. I have associated with CPAs, I have worked with CPAs, I have used turbo tax to do many different types of returns, as others have said here. but I never stated I am a CPA. I also end my posts with various "guys" as the voice of the opinion of how is speaking, as hyperbole as to the quality of the post on the internet. I have often stated that this is an internet bbs and its all
If you look at this board as 100% factual, then you might look at the world differently than I do.
You might find this interesting, as understanding the different personality types helps overcome the obvious differences in how each individual looks at the world around them. It will help you understand why individuals have different points of view, not necessarily wrong, but different. Your view of the world is yours, but not everyones.

Its why i am in finance and not in accounting, as accounting is the process of putting all numbers into some proper box per the rules of accounting.
