Last week I mailed in our estimated tax payment check along with the printed coupon showing our tax ID info and amount. As I dropped the envelope into the mailbox at the post office I had this kind of sinking feeling that something wasn't right. Yesterday when checking our bank account online I saw that the check had cleared. I pulled up a picture of the check and saw that I hadn't completed writing out the amount in words although I did put the right amount in figures. I also neglected to SIGN the check or write our tax ID numbers on the check in the lower left!
The check cleared our bank account with no problem and no notification from the bank or the IRS. I wonder what would happen if someone stole one of our checks and filled it out in a similar fashion with no signature and incomplete amount in words.
