--explanation--

The phrase Thanks for + -ing is used to express gratitude for an action that has happened or is happening. The verb following for takes the -ing form because it acts as a noun (gerund). For example:

Thanks for helping me with the report. - This means the speaker appreciates the help given for the report.
