TRC20 tokens sit on the same Base58 accounts as TRX. Screening the account still matters before you send USDT or other TRC20 assets — the receive address is the same shape.
Contract address vs wallet address
Do not send USDT to a token contract. Counterparty receive addresses start with T and behave like wallets. Contract interactions are a different flow; when someone asks you to “pay USDT here,” they almost always mean a wallet address you should screen.
Network selection for USDT
USDT exists on multiple chains. Confirm TRC20 / TRON in the sending wallet every time. A correct TRON address on the wrong network selection still loses funds.
