How to change business name on EIN?

I have an EIN for a sole proprietorship and I want to submit a name change for the business. The IRS website says I need to "Write to us at the address where you filed your return, informing the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the name change." I filed my tax return with TurboTax and I'm trying to figure out how to submit this request with Turbotax to change my business name.

You cannot submit the name change with TurboTax. If you e-filed your tax return, write to the IRS at the address where you would file your tax return if you were filing by mail.
