When using the MCC....When I enter the amount of mortgage interest paid, do I enter both the interest(box 1) & the insurance premiums(box 5) from the 1098, or only box 1?

Only Box 1 interest paid on the certified indebtedness amount.

See the IRS website: About Form 8396, Mortgage Interest Credit for further information.
