Depends! (If the sentence starts and ends inside the brackets the punctuation does too.) If the sentence is part in (and part out) the punctuation goes outside the brackets. It is the same with quotation marks (look in a newspaper and you'll see what I mean).
When adding parenthetical documentation at the end of a sentence, place the punctuation outside of the parentheses. This ensures that the punctuation is logically part of the sentence rather than the citation. For example, "This is a sample sentence (Smith, 2020)."
No, if "etc." is at the end of a sentence in parentheses, you only need one period. The period in "etc." serves as the punctuation for the abbreviation, and there is no need for an additional period to end the sentence.
Yes, parentheses are considered punctuation marks commonly used to set off additional or clarifying information within a sentence.
The comma typically goes before the parentheses if it is part of the main sentence. If the parentheses contain a complete sentence, the period or other punctuation mark will typically go inside the parentheses.
Write your sentence (then your parenthetical). Use the same punctuation inside the parentheses as you would outside of them and end the sentence with an ending punctuation mark (period).
The correct punctuation of a sentence with parentheses typically involves placing punctuation outside the parentheses if the sentence continues after them. For example: "I enjoy reading (especially fiction), but my friend prefers non-fiction." If the parentheses contain a complete sentence that stands alone, the punctuation goes inside the parentheses: "She loves to read. (She reads every night.)"
Parentheses are placed at the end of a sentence before the final punctuation mark. If the entire sentence is within the parentheses, the period goes inside the closing parenthesis. For example: "He bought apples (which were on sale)." If the parentheses contain a complete sentence, the period should be placed inside the closing parentheses.

A period would go inside parentheses to finish a complete sentence, but you always need sentence-ending punctuation outside of the parentheses.
No. There is no definitive rule regarding parentheses and end punctuation.Punctuate within the parenthetical as normal, and punctuate the sentence in which the parenthetical occurs as normal as well.
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.
No. Typically, you will only put ending punctuation (in this case, a period) if the sentence within the parentheses is a complete sentence.
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.
