The bases are loaded, two outs. The hitter hits a bases clearing double, but forgets to step on first base. The outfeilder throws the ball to first base and the firstbaseman steps on firstbase and the hitter is called out. How many runs score?

It is 0, the runner must make it to first base safely without any other outs recorded to have any of the runs coun, very nice question, and the guy a few questions up read it wrong, two outs stop all preceding runs
7.12 Unless two are out, the status of a following runner is not affected by a preceding runner's failure to touch or retouch a base. If, upon appeal, the preceding runner is the third out, no runners following him shall score. If such third out is the result of a force play, neither preceding nor following runners shall score.

The runs score.
If a player misses a base while running the bases, an appeal has to be made after the play has concluded. The runs still count though.
Similar situation that I've seen.
A player hits a 3-run homer with 2 outs... misses first base while jogging around the bases. The opposing team appeals and he's called out. One run is erased from the scoreboards and the inning is over. However, the other 2 runs still stand.

As long as the three runners on base touch home plate before the defending team throws the ball to the first base that the hitter neglected to step on, those three runs all count. The inning ends as soon as the defending team tags first base.

No one scores, runs do not score until the batter safely touches first base. If he missed it, then he is out at first and no runs score.
Rule 4.09(a): EXCEPTION: A run is not scored if the runner advances to home base during a play in which the third out is made (1) by the batter-runner before he touches first base; (2) by any runner being forced out; or (3) by a preceding runner who is declared out because he failed to touch one of the bases.

If the umpire observes that he didn't hit first base, he doesn't mention anything unless the other team appeals in the manner you list above.
In general, if the runner is forced out on first any runner that crossed the plate before the forced out would not count, but if the runner is tagged out any runs that scored first would count. So in this case, I'd assume that none of the runs count, because he's called out on a force.

Zero runs score. No run shall score during a play in which the third out is made by the batter runner before he touches first base.

No runs score because it's the same as if he hit the ball to shortstop. If the runner gets to home plate first, but the runner is out at first even after, then the run doesn't count. This is different than tagging out a runner for the third out.

If the first baseman gets the ball and steps on first during the play, zero runs score b/c it is a forceout. If they realize it after the play is over and get him out on appeal, I believe that all runs that scored on the play count (although I could be wrong).

I'm not sure what the actual answer is, but it's either all three runs, or however many crossed home plate prior to the batter reaching (and missing) first base (which is most likely only one runner)... This question makes me want to look up the answer in the MLB rulebook.
