You are always entirely responsible for your returns.
An error in process or position may be forgiven, or overlooked, by the IRS if you relied on a professional to do it and there was some justification for his actions. Something like adding 2+2 and getting 3 isn't likely to be forgiven...it is simply wrong and you should have caught it on review.
Many preparers will reimburse for any cost of errors...that normally meaning the interest or penalty charges...the tax itself is something you would have owed were there no errors. That meaning the advantageous position he tried to get for you or the pure error, like addition.
