This can be difficult. There are many considerations.
What type of tax lien is it? How old is the lien? How large is the lien amount? If the lien has the potential to jeopardize the security of the loan, then you most likely will need to take care of the lien first.

How can you get pre approved with a tax lien in your credit report?
There are different types of tax liens (IRS, county, state). I'll assume you have an IRS lien. A lien against your residence will prevent you from refinancing the existing home unless you get the IRS to approve a subordination. This means they agree to allow a mortgage company to take a priority position on the title of the home, in front of the tax lien. If you do not own a home, or are referring to a purchase, and the tax lien is against all your personal property, the lender will likely require that it be paid or otherwise satisfied. Before the credit and housing crash it was difficult to obtain financing with a lien against your property (think about a mortgage company considering loaning on a home that they have reason to know may have a lien placed against it by the IRS once you own it) but now it would be far more difficult with the pull back in underwriting requirements.
What is worse a tax lien or a collection on a credit report?
A tax lien will affect your credit the same way other type of default or past due unpaid bill. The presence of a tax lien is considered a delinquent, unpaid account, and it will lower your credit score.

This is because a collection account is related to an actual lender you applied for credit and did not pay as agreed. It is best to read up on this matter and I like Phil Turner's book titled the Credit Bible for tips on solving collection accounts. titled the Credit Bible for tips on solving collection accounts.
