Just ask to pay your taxes and fees for the return, and they will list you and take your payment. Then when you're at the international station days later looking to return to the USA, you only have to go to a checkin counter and get a standy pass to proceed through security. It's always been very easy doing it. I haven't done this for the past year though, but I wouldn't think the method I've outlined would have changed.
