I think it is very simple. SUTA stands for State Unemployment Tax Authority. Why should an employee pay for the risk of being unemployed? Additionally, why should the lower income-earning entity (this being the employee, compared to the employer) pay for it?

The reason for SUTA (that being, unemployment) has not been caused directly by most employees anyway. Right there is a very good reason...

SUTA (State Unemployment Tax Act) tax rates vary by state and the taxable wage base can also differ.

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.
