What does that tells you? vs What does that tell you?

Both phrases are not correct. The correct form should be: 'What does that tell you?' The verb 'tell' should be in the base form without an 's' at the end because 'does' already indicates the third person singular. The incorrect form 'tells' is a common mistake made by English learners.
