Box 4 does not affect box 5-7.
Which state do you live in? Which state did you earn this money in? Were they the same state? If you lived and worked in the same state when earning this money, whether you leave boxes 5-7 blank or not will not affect anything. When you go through your state return, it will pull this income and then ask if this income should be included.
Box 4 being empty just means, there was no income tax withheld. This is quite common on the 1099-NEC.
