How do i change a transfer to an expense account

Hello and welcome to the Community space, @laurie73. Let's make sure you'll be able to change the transaction that has been recorded as Transferred and categorize it to the right account.

Since this is a transfer, the accounts affected will be the assets, bank, equity, and liability accounts. Thus, you can only see this transaction in the Balance Sheet report instead of the Profit & Loss report.  

If it's showing as "Transfer" under the Action column when the bank downloaded the transaction in the For Review tab, you can follow the steps below to switch it and categorize this transaction to the expense account:

1. Go to Transactions, then select Bank Transactions.
2. In the For Review tab, select and click the transferred transaction.
3. Switch the radio button from Record as transfer to Categorise.
4. Select the account you prefer for this transaction in the Account dropdown.
5. Complete the required fields, then click Add to categorize it to the correct account.

On the other hand, if the transaction is already in the register and posted in the Categorised tab, you can Undo the transaction to return this to the For Review tab. Then, follow the steps above to categorise it into the expense account. Afterward, you can check your Profit & Loss report for the changes.

Furthermore, you can use this link to guide you in reviewing your account to make it accurate and balanced: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.
