How much must I earn or pay out before a w-2 federal income tax form is required?

There is no lower limit. You pay from dollar one.
And just to clarify - the employer does NOT pay federal income tax on pay to an employee. He "withholds" income tax from the amount of pay he gives the employee (that is an estimate of what will be paid by the employee at tax filing according to the W-4 provided by the employee), and sends that to the IRS. Other than the cost of doing so, it costs the employer nothing.
In fact, the entire reported payroll for the employee is probably the most acceptable tax deduction for the employer that there is!
There may well be other payroll taxes or fee's - like FICA or unemployment, etc that he employer does pay out of his own funds.

What Income tax mean?
Income is the money you earn that your employer pays you. Before an employer can give the employee his/her pay, he is required by law to first subtract an amount to be paid to the Federal Government, and to states that also have their own income tax. All income earned in the US is subject to Federal "income tax". The employer is required to pay some of your income tax up front for you so that the Government will be sure to receive some payment for you. If you earned income in any year, you are required to file an "income tax return" for that year and if there has not been enough payment made up front from you paycheck, you will have to pay the additional amount. If too much money has been paid up front, you will receive a check from the Government in the amount of the overpayment. a form that shows how much income you received from working sources, and how much tand otherax you must pay.
