It is shown that the existence of hot accretion spots at the surface of T Tau practically has no effect on the accuracy of estimation of its magnetic field strength at photospheric level. We also found that one can interpret results of T Tau's photospheric magnetic field strength measurements carried out via different methods in the frame of the following alternative: 1) if T Tau's inclination angle $i\le 10^\circ,$ then magnetic field of the star may be dipolar with the angle between rotational and magnetic axes is near $85^\circ;$ 2) if it will be found (e.g. from interferometric observations) that $i>10^\circ,$ then magnetic field of T Tau is essentially non-dipolar or/and non-stationary.
