Draw out the lewis structure and check for yourself. Use common bonding patterns and think about how the atoms connect in their most typical way: Carbon makes 4 bonds, halogens make 1 bond and have three lone pairs, and hydrogen makes one bond and has zero lone pairs.
This allows for a structure where all the atoms have complete octets and a formal charge of zero. The formal charges should add to the actual charge, which in this case is zero.
Also, learn the common bonding patterns for the main group elements such as CNO and halogens. These can be found in a textbook, or by googling "common bonding patterns"
