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.

What is the electronic geometry of sulfite?
The electronic geometry of sulfite ion (SO3^2-) is trigonal planar. In this structure, there are three regions of electron density around the sulfur atom, forming a trigonal planar shape.
What is the geometry of the sulfite ion?
trigonal bipyramidal
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.
