Your return will still be processed (unlike if you electronically filed where your return will be rejected without the IP Pin). But, it will delay the processing of your return because the IRS is going to be extra careful processing your return and they are going to cross check to make sure its really you. If they have any reason to suspect it may not be you, then you will likely get a letter asking you to verify your identity. So, be prepared for delays in receiving your refund.
