  "account": "The US Internal Revenue Service has extended the deadline for taxpayers in the Northern Mariana Islands affected by Super Typhoon Bavi to file certain federal tax returns and make payments. The relief applies to affected individuals, businesses, and certain recognized government or philanthropic relief workers. The new deadline is 1 February 2027, which is later than the original deadline that falls on or after 4 July and before 1 February. The relief covers a range of tax returns, including estimated income tax payments, quarterly payroll returns, and certain excise tax returns. Affected taxpayers may also claim disaster-related casualty losses on their federal income tax return and may be eligible for additional relief, such as certain disaster distributions not subject to the usual additional 10 percent early-distribution tax.",
  "summary": "The US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has extended the deadline for affected taxpayers in the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) to file their federal tax returns and make payments following Super Typhoon Bavi. The relief, announced by the IRS on 25 July 2026, allows individuals and businesses on Saipan, Tinian, and Rota until 1 February 2027 to file returns and pay taxes that were originally due during that period. The extension applies to a range of tax obligations, including estimated income tax payments, quarterly payroll and excise tax returns, and disaster-related casualty losses. However, tax payments associated with 2025 individual income tax returns, originally due on 15 April, are not covered by the extension.",
