I have a Nikon D5600 and it says 55mm. But when I recently purchased some 55mm filters (UV, polarizing, etc), they do not fit. What am I doing wrong?
Look inside the lens cap, it will have a mm size printed on it (if Nikon lens cap) that is the size of the filter you need.

Different lenses require different size filters. I have several lenses that require four different filter sizes. On the positive side, all you need for digital photography is a CPL (Circular Polarizing filter) and in some cases a ND (Neutral Density) filter. A clear or UV filter is a waste of money, but many camera stores will try to sell you one to "protect your lens" because filters are high profit items. The lens protection argument is a fallacy, but is still a hotly debated issue.
To cut cost, you could buy filters for your largest lens and use adapter rings to allow you to use those filters on your smaller lenses.

Tell us what lens you're using, and we'll tell you the filter size.

I am glad that you finally figured it out. Cameras do not come but with one filter and that is the anti-aliasing filter on top of the sensor. Filters are used with lenses and as it has been already explained to you those filter sizes are describe in the lens itself.

All depends on what lens you have. They tell the size in mm on the front of the lens

If you have the 18-55mm f3.5 - f5.6 kit lens, Tiffen lists the filter size as 55mm. Maybe you are cross threading it. Try again; it should screw in without resistance. If this isn't your lens, send me the full specs of the one you have, and I can find the correct filter size.
