We analyze several approaches to the thermodynamics of tachyon matter. The energy spectrum of tachyons $\epsilon_k=\sqrt{k^2-m^2}$ is defined at $k\geq m$ and it is not evident how to determine the tachyonic distribution function and calculate its thermodynamical parameters. Integrations within the range $k\in (m,\infty) $ yields no imaginary quantities and tachyonic thermodynamical functions at zero temperature satisfy the third law of thermodynamics. It is due to an anomalous term added to the pressure. This approach seems to be correct, however, exact analysis shows that the entropy may become negative at finite temperature. The only right choice is to perform integration within the range $k\in (0,\infty) $, taking extended distribution function $f_\epsilon =1$ and the energy spectrum $\epsilon_k=0$ when $k
