Write the dollar amount in numerals, including cents, in the box provided. If there is no box, draw a line through the space to prevent anyone from adding to the amount.
Use commas to separate thousands, millions, etc. For example, write “1,000” instead of “1000.”
If the amount is a whole number, write “.00” after it to indicate that there are no cents.
