You cannot change your address by phoning  the IRS.    You can send a change of address to the IRS by mail:

But make sure the post office is forwarding mail to you from your old address, too.

I would start by checking your account transcript and the “where’s my refund” website to see if you can find a date when the check was mailed.

If a check was mailed and it was never forwarded by the Postal Service, you will have to use the Trace procedure.
