Can you deposit a check with you both you & your husband's name on it into an individual checking account?

Question

I received a check and it was made out to for ex). Jane & Joe Doe. My husband is not on my checking account. Can I deposit the check into my account anyway because my name is on it or no because my husband name is on it?

Answer 1

Yes, I deposit my husbands paychecks into my account all the time and his name isn't even on my bank account. He signs the checks though. Also, we got a from the IRS in both of our names last year and he deposited that into my account. It is your check.

Answer 2

Where I bank, as long as he sighs it you should be able to deposit the check.

Answer 3

usually not - even if he signs it and he would have to sign it for you to deposit it anywhere-call your bank and find out what your options are - or both of you go to the bank, sign it and cash it together
