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. Keep in mind that a loan officer physically looking at your credit report will give more weight to a collections account than a tax lien. 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.
