I believe, all you need to do is log into the IRS website and create a login account and change your address. I hope this helps.
The taxpayer can and should make an individual online account with the IRS. This is useful for many reasons, including the fact that claiming your account stops anyone else from making an account in your name. https://www.irs.gov/payments/view-your-tax-account
However, filing a change of address online may not be enough to cause any fraudulent tax refund check to be mailed to the taxpayer instead of to the person who filed a fraudulent return in their name, depending on when the check is/was processed. The taxpayer should file a correct return in their name and include a form 14039-T identity theft affidavit.
The taxpayer may also want to make a police report of identity theft with their local police.
