We have succeeded in obtaining a precision analytic fitting formula for the exact numerical results of the relativistic corrections to the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect for clusters of galaxies which has a 1% accuracy for the crossover frequency region where the thermal thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect signal changes from negative to positive sign. The fitting has been carried out for the ranges 0.020 < theta < 0.035 and 0 < X < 15, where theta= kTe/mc^{2}, X = omega/kT0, Te is the electron temperature, omega is the angular frequency of the photon, and T0 is the temperature of the cosmic microwave background radiation. The overall accuracy of the fitting is better than 0.1%. The present analytic fitting formula will be useful for accurate analyses of the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect for clusters of galaxies.
