One stimulus payment was received in 2020 and the other in 2021. Should they both be recorded on 2020 tax return?

Yes, they should both be recorded as stimulus payments on your 2020 tax return.  This is the reconciliation year for the payments you received.

The amount received in 2021 is the second stimulus payment.
