I can only guess that you both exercised and sold the shares on the same day. That seems to be implied here though that "proceeds from the sale were paid using the payroll system" does seem very odd as that's certainly not what typically happens in the US.
If it is indeed the case that you exercised the option, sold all the stock, the cash was passed back to your employer who included the "profit" (the spread between what you paid to exercise and the actual amount realized on the sale) on your W-2 and withheld taxes, then I can't see how you have anything to report.
