The oxygen in carbonate ion has 4x1=4 electrons and assigned to it and from one from each four bonds.
It has been taken with formal charge of zero neutral and includes at top oxygen that has two lone pairs as well as bonding pairs.
It is giving overall results of 4+2=6 electrons. Thus, the formal charge of oxygen in carbonate ions is zero.
