Thanks again!
Might want to sit down and consult with an accountant for all this, since I haven't dealt with them much, but here goes:

Unearned income (interest, dividends, etc.) will be double taxed at both the foreign and US level. Same with earned income over $80k US. However, you will get to file form 1116 to claim a foreign tax credit, which will reduce the amount of US tax you owe.
