Hello Marlene,
Usually no forms are required to be filed with the IRS when a stock option is granted. I suggest that you consult with your CPA firm about the requirements when an option is exercised or the stock is sold. There are some companies that specialize in administering employee stock option plans. Maybe your company should hire one of them.
Good luck!
