Possibly.  If you reported the identity theft to the IRS and they issued an IP PIN (6 digit identity protection PIN, different from the 5 digit e-filing PIN) then you need to include the IP PIN or e-filing will be blocked.  (If you never reported the problem using form 14309-T, you probably should.)

If you don't have an IP-PIN you can try regular e-filing, I don't know of any automatic block.  But if it doesn't work, you can print and mail your return. (Don't forget to also mail your state return.)
