Cashier's check tracing

You won't be charged to cash the check. They do usually charge you a small fee to print a cashiers check. The cashiers check will have the name of the bank on it and the person who is writing you the check.

Now if what you are asking is if you found a cashier check and you want to cash it, it is defiantly traceable even if you just get cash. All banks and check cashing outlets will check your id. Not only is it traceable, its wrong and illegal and you can go to jail for check fraud. It's flat out stealing from some honest person. So I hope that is not what you are talking about.

I agree even though you don't deposit the money the person that sent the cashiers check ( if for work, etc. ) will have to be accountable for that money. If it is your grandma or someone I would say no...If it is because you found this cashiers check..They do have Tracking numbers on the check that tells where it orginanated and then the bank where it was cashed, deposited or if has already be reported lost and then that is another whole story of Big trouble

Thank you all for your responses. Let me reassure you, there is no intention of illegal activities. Maybe I should have been more clear with my question. Approx 8 years ago, I loaned my brother over $800. Obviously, this was my hard earned and taxed money. Now, he has agreed to pay me back slowly. From what I understand, if I deposit any amount over $600, I could be taxed on it. I don't think this would be fair, so before I tell him how to send it to me (he is out of state), I want to know my facts.
