The contribution limit for the mutual funds in 2024 is 30% or your adjusted gross income as they are considered appreciated assets. The similar limit for cash is 60%. So, it must be that the cash contributions give you enough itemized deduction to get you over your standard deduction while the mutual fund contribution does not. So, when you enter the mutual fund contribution, you are still getting the standard deduction so your tax due does not change.
