Instructions from linked page

Open the qif file in Notepad and add the following four lines at the very 
beginning of the file: 

!Account 
NMyAccount 
Txxxx 
^ 

substituting the exact Quicken name of the account you want to import to for "MyAccount";

and substituting from the following list for "xxxx":
1.) "Bank" for checking or savings accounts 
2.) "CCard" for credit card accounts 
3.) "Invst" for investment accounts 

"Save" the qif file.
