That's old-fashioned nomenclature, but that's okay - the "-ic" suffix means you're dealing with tin with a higher number of valence electrons, in this case, 4. So with tin as +4 and oxygen, as always, as -2, you're going to get a formula of SnO2. Tin with a charge of +2 is the other possible valence option, and that's called "stannous oxide" with the "-ous" suffix, and a formula of SnO. The better way to express stannic oxide is simply to say tin(IV) oxide, and stannous oxide as tin(II) oxide.

It is Tin(II) oxide or Stannous oxide
What is the chemical formula for iron 2 and oxygen?
Fe3O2. But it's not right! Oxygen forms a 2- ion and iron can be 2+ or 3+. So the formulae of iron oxide can be FeO or Fe2O3.
