For data link layers (the 2 most common being 802.3 and 802.11), the FCS will detect single bit errors anywhere in the entire frame.

The header checksum in an IP packet only detects errors in the header. There is no trailing checksum in IP. It's up to the upper layers to detect errors in the payload.
