Deposit to Daughter's Account

Can I deposit a check that I received from a bank, addressed and made out to me, into my daughter's account?


That's probably possible. Take the check to the bank holding your daughter's account. Ask the teller how to endorse the check so that it can be deposited to your daughter's credit. The endorsement will probably read something like: "Pay to [daughter's name]/[Your signature]" or "Pay to [name of bank} for deposit only to account of [daughter's name]/[Your signature]." If the bank is willing to accept the check for deposit to your daughter's account, it can take care of the rest. If you are able to bring a deposit ticket for your daughter's account, it could facilitate things for you.
