ammonium chromate and tin nitrate react...

When I try to balance this equation on the website, it tells me that the reaction is impossible. What am I missing?

Started with

(NH4)2(CrO4) + Sn(NO3)4

Decided it was a double displacement precipitation reaction resulting in tin chromate and ammonium nitrate.

= Sn(CrO4) + (NH4)(NO3)

* All of the numbers are subscripts.

Is this wrong so far?

If not, could someone help me balance it? I got something different than my tutor got, and I'm confused as to why (hence me trying to utilize the website to balance).
