It's trigonal pyramidal. You can do an easy calculation by considering the number of valence electrons, in this case 26, and then drawing a Lewis structure. The Lewis structure will have 8 electrons on each of the Oxygen atoms and a single lone pair on the sulfur. This lone pair gives Sulfite sp3 hybridized orbitals and trigonal pyramidal geometry.

S2F2 is polar or non polar?
Think of the sulfite ion as a molecule with its geometry and dipole moment AND a net charge. The electron pair geometry is tetrahedral and the molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal and because of its asymmetrical shape and polar bonds, sulfite has a net dipole moment (2.04D ). The ion is polar.
