IRS audit? E gad!

I got my tax return returned to me on Friday, with a note saying that I had filled it out wrong (that the numbers didn't match in two separate entries).

Now, I did not prepare my taxes -- my father did (I'm 25 years old and my Dad still does my taxes, I'm such a dweeb!). Apparently, it's all for the best, though, because for the life of me I can't find the two instances where the numbers don't match. I've been over the form a zillion times. I am tax form inept.

It all worries me, though, because of this: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/16/business/16tax.html

Do you think the I.R.S. is gearing up for an audit of my records? Will my tax form ineptitude make them suspicious? Not that it really matters, I guess, but I just don't think I can deal with the headache of an audit on top of everything else that's going on lately.
