It looks like the account record has a name to me, bold below:

ACCNT OCLIAB Payee Account - Company Contributions

I suspect the !ACCNT record that precedes that ACCNT record has three columns, the last being NAME.  Seems it should work when you import it. Do you get an error message? If so, what does it say?

Doesn't seem to be the case.   Contents of file leading up to error is below.

;*** YOUR IIF FILE COULDN'T BE IMPORTED ***
;Some of your records have errors.
;1. Search for the errors by typing "[ERROR]" to see only the failed records.

ACCNT OCLIAB Payee Account - Company Contributions

What you are calling the name is actually the DESC.  There should be NAME text between the ACCNT and OCLIAB.  

Yes, that seems correct given the !ACCNT row in the file.

RE: I have opened 5 support cases and keep going round in circles with them with no resolution as to why this line is being added to the .iif with no name.

QuickBooks Online Payroll is a buggy mess. That's why.
