turn into vs turn in to :

turn into or turn in to

Probably out of simple absentmindedness, an amazing number of Web pages of educational institutions call for people to fill out a form and “turn it into” some office or official. “Turn into” means “transform into.” Your fairy godmother can turn a pumpkin into a coach. The way to instruct someone to submit a document is “turn in to,” with a space between the “in” and the “to”: “turn your application in to the registrar.”Once you have your coach, you can turn into a driveway; but you cannot turn a form into a registrar unless you have very advanced origami skills.
