Please try following:

-- NB! Script do NOT write any ifo to any table
-- to perform insert please copy/paste script output and execute

declare @tbl_name   nvarchar(128)   = '#insertTable';     -- Destination Table Name + [(column names)]
declare @dlm        nvarchar(128)   = char(9);  -- Delimiter: HT = char(9) = HorizontalTab
declare @tbl        nvarchar(max)   =               -- Paste Table Values here (from excel for instance)
N'NULL    490366  NULL    NULL
NULL    490400  NULL    NULL
NULL    490402  NULL    NULL
483061  490404  10  abc1
NULL    490406  NULL    NULL
9766167 490408  3   abc2'
;

select N'insert into '
        + @tbl_name             -- table name
        + ' VALUES(' 
        + replace               -- replace 'NULL' by NULL
          ( '''' 
             + replace          -- surround values by quotes 'value1','value2'...
               (    value
               ,    @dlm        -- Delimiter: HT = char(9) = HorizontalTab
               ,    ''','''
               ) 
             + ''''
          , '''NULL'''  
          , 'NULL'      
          )                                              
        + ');' as insertquery
--into #t 
from fn_split_string            -- insert Line per Row into table
     (  replace                 -- replace CR + LF by LF  (CR - Carriage Return, LF - Line Feed)
        (   @tbl                -- Paste Table Values here (from excel for instance)
        , char(13)+char(10)     -- CR + LF
        , char(10)              -- LF
        )
     ,char(10)
     ) 
where len(value)>0              -- skip empty rows
