Thanks for the confirmation and make sense. Best to follow #s from 1099-B.
Good suggestion to try both long and short term to determine which is more beneficial. For 23 taxes, no difference as CG income will be the max -$3k deduction. So all losses additional will forward to future.
For future, I think either way (short or long loss Carryfwd) will have the same result. Any gains will be offset against same term loss (including carry over) followed by the other term loss (including carry over)
