2. Make sure your name and address are on the check or money order.
3. In the check or money order’s memo section, write these:
   1. Form number you’re filing.
   2. Your daytime phone number
   3. Your Social Security number (SSN), or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). If you’re filing married filing jointly, write the first SSN shown on the return.
4. When writing the payment amount on the right side of the check, write the number like this: $XXX.XX. Don’t use a dash or slash.
