Step-by-step solution for: Writing Checks Worksheets
You’ve uploaded a worksheet titled “Writing Checks” with two tasks. Let’s solve each one step-by-step and explain how to properly fill out the check.
---
## ✔ TASK 1: Write a check to United Way for $8,000.00 dated January 1, 2022
#### 1. Date:
> January 1, 2022
Write this in the “Date” field — usually top right corner of the check.
#### 2. Pay to the Order of:
> United Way
This is who you’re paying. Write it clearly on the line that says “PAY TO THE ORDER OF”.
#### 3. Amount in Numbers:
> $8,000.00
Write this in the box next to the dollar sign ($). Be sure to include the decimal and two zeros for cents — even if it’s a whole number.
#### 4. Amount in Words:
> Eight thousand and 00/100 dollars
Write this on the line below “PAY TO THE ORDER OF”.
- Spell out the dollar amount.
- Use “and” before the cents.
- Write “00/100” for zero cents.
- End with “dollars”.
✔ Example:
> *Eight thousand and 00/100 dollars*
#### 5. Memo (optional but helpful):
> Donation to United Way
You can write this in the “MEMO” line to note the purpose of the check.
#### 6. Signature:
Sign your name on the bottom right line. Without a signature, the check is invalid.

#### 1. Date:

#### 3. Amount in Numbers:

Fill in the box next to the dollar sign.
#### 4. Amount in Words:
> One thousand one hundred four and 00/100 dollars
Write this on the line below “PAY TO THE ORDER OF”.
✔ Example:
> *One thousand one hundred four and 00/100 dollars*

#### 5. Memo:

Helpful to specify what the payment is for.
#### 6. Signature:
Sign your name at the bottom right.

## ✍️ Final Tips for Writing Checks:
- Use black or blue ink only — no pencil or other colors.
- Don’t leave blank spaces — draw a line through any empty space after writing the amount in words to prevent fraud.
- Always double-check the date, payee, and amount before signing.
- Keep a record of the check in your checkbook register.
