Unfortunately, you can't change your address if your return has already been submitted and accepted by the IRS.  If your return is rejected for any reason, you can go back and change the address then.

If you are getting a paper check in the mail, the check will be returned to the IRS and you will need to change your address with them. Here are the instructions to change your address with the IRS IRS Form 8822 Address Change.

You will also need to contact your state.

We cannot change anything for returns you have already filed with the taxing agencies.

 

You can do it by referring to the following instructions from the IRS.
