For Rent Paid on Principal Residence box am i putting the total amount for the year or just how much my rent is for a month

You put in the amount for the whole year.

For rent paid on principal place of residence, my BF and I split the total each month (he pays half and I pay half). We don't file jointly, so do I put the amount I personally pay for the whole year instead of the total amount our rent is for a whole year? ( Example: rent is $700 a month = $8,400 a year. I pay $350 each month = $4,200 a year.)
