If IR filter has marks......

If filter has few marks like 2mm on one side. Would it affect your photos? It is B+W IR filter 093. Thanks

Think it'll be like any small scratch on a filter or front element, not much effect, perhaps a slight loss in contrast, and perhaps a little more susceptible to flaring, but doubt it will be very noticeable.
