Is it possible to write a negative sentence of this type with być? Normally, you'd use the genitive after a negated verb, but być takes the instrumental--how does all that work out in this case (if it does)?
https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/16373167 - I really believe this should answer all your questions.
But tl;dr - It's either "Wrzesień nie jest moim miesiącem" (Instrumental) or "Wrzesień to nie mój miesiąc" (Nominative).
Although I usually recommend the Instrumental construction, such a sentence seems more idiomatic to me in Nominative.
