The end punctuation in a sentence with parentheses depends on the overall sentence structure. If the parentheses contain a complete sentence, the period goes inside the closing parenthesis. If the information in the parentheses is additional or clarifying, the ending punctuation goes outside the closing parenthesis.

If 'etc.' is at the end of a sentence are there 2 periods?
no, there is only one. ================== I can't think of any example where ending a sentence with two periods would be necessary. Not even following the last word in a sentence that is being quoted within parentheses would I expect one to employ two periods. One, I humbly submit, is all that's ever needed. ------------------------- Placing more than one punctuation mark at the end of a sentence is superfluous. It is a rule of punctuation that there be only one form of "end punctuation" to a sentence. Whether the end punctuation be a period, question mark or exclamation point, only one is required. The rule applies also when the punctuation mark appears within parentheses or quotation marks; a second punctuation mark is both unnecessary and inappropriate.

Where does the period go when using parenthese?
If one or more sentences are between parentheses, then put the period or other final punctuation between the parentheses: Always thank the bellboy. (Usually you should also tip him.) Otherwise put the period or other final punctuation outside the final parenthesis: Always thank the bellboy (and any other staff who has aided you). The period or other final punctuation belongs to the sentence as a whole. If the entire sentence is within parentheses, naturally that includes the final punctuation. If the parentheses enclose only part of sentence, naturally the final punctuation goes outside.
