The IRS audits you.

Of course it depends on the nature of the error. The most common are math errors...in which case the IRS calculates the correct amount and sends you a bill (generally with penalty and fees) for the additional, or a refund of the extra if you erred that way (surprisingly common).

Most other errors have a response dependent on the type...if your error was not reporting income, so the IRS computers received information (from employers, interest payors, anyone sending you a 1099, and other ways), they either send you a correction (and bill - again with fee's and interest), reduce your refund, or they may first send you a letter asking for an explanation. It is not uncommon that they may ask for explanation of other things while they are at it. They may even ask you come to an office and bring all your records to confirm many other things.
