How do you write $1,000 on a check?

Write “One thousand and 00/100”. Even when there are no cents, include 00/100 so nobody can alter the amount.

Do you say “and” inside the number on a check?

Not in US usage. Write 105 as “one hundred five”, and save “and” only for separating dollars from cents.

Is it forty or fourty on a check?

It is always “forty”. Four, fourteen, and twenty-four keep the letter u, but forty drops it.
