As for my capital gains, it looks like it'll be business as usual.

Does this sound right?
That's the way the system works. My dad had to that until he just moved back to the US.

Were you born here ? If so there is NOTHING you can do to "lose" that. If you weren't born here or are a new citizen then I have no clue
