The central atom of this ion is the C atom and it has 8 valence electrons.
If youre looking for the formal charge of the Molecule HCO2- then its just the -1. If youre looking for individual Atom formal charges, dram the lewis diagram of the entire atom. Draw out all of the single or double bonds and add all the lone electrons. USe the equation (Group number of element-lone electrons-Bonding electrons/2) This will be your formal charge for each atom.
The Lewis dot structure of the bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) consists of one hydrogen atom, one carbon atom, and three oxygen atoms. The carbon atom is double-bonded to one of the oxygen atoms and has a single bond with the other two oxygen atoms. Each oxygen atom has two lone pairs of electrons around it.
The Lewis dot structure for citric acid (C6H8O7) shows three carboxylic acid functional groups. The Lewis dot structure for baking soda (NaHCO3) shows a sodium cation (Na+) bonded to a bicarbonate anion (HCO3-).
I'm pretty sure that the bicarbonate ion, HCO3 has a negative one charge. assuming that you are looking for HCO3- the structure is a carbon double bonded to a oxygen and single bonded to two oxygens, one of which has the hydrogen attached. the structure is hard to draw with simple text, but would look more or less like O l [O=C-O-H]- {and of course each oxygen has the necessary electrons around it}
The Lewis structure of ammonium hydrogen carbonate, NH4HCO3, consists of the ammonium cation (NH4+) and the bicarbonate anion (HCO3-). The ammonium cation has a nitrogen atom with four hydrogen atoms bonded around it, and the bicarbonate anion has a hydrogen atom and three oxygen atoms, with a double bond between one of the oxygen atoms and the carbon atom.

HCO3- is a anion (bicarbonate); HCO3+ don't exist.

Also, by electron charge, are you referring to the opposite of elementary charge? The systematic name is monohydrogen carbonate(-1), this tells you the formal charge, as would simply adding the charges using the chemical formula of bicarbonate. [HCO3]-
The Valency of Bicarbonate is - 1. Therefore: Calcium + Bicarbonate = Ca(HCO3)2 as Calcium is 2 and Bicarbonate is -1 Similarly Zn + HCO3 = Zn(HCO3)2 Na + HCO3 = NaHCO3
Formula for magnesium hydrogen carbonate is Mg(HCO3)2.
The conjugate base of HCO3 is CO3^2-.
