   Heres a simple way to get parent categories only into a list of checkbox values with the category ID as the value. Just use <?php cat_list(); ?> where you want the list to appear.

   function cat_list(){
   		$categoryargs = array(
   		'hide_empty' => false,
   		'walker' => 'object',
   		'depth' => 1
   		);
   		$categories=get_categories($categoryargs);
   		foreach($categories as $category) {
   			if ($category->category_parent == 0){
   				echo "<input type='checkbox' name='mychecky' value='$category->term_id' />";    echo $category->cat_name;echo '<br>';
   			}
   		}
   	}
