it goes with the sentence.
if the whole sentence is parenthetical, it goes outside.
if the parenthesis are not around the whole sentence, it goes on the inside.
I jumped over the (yellow) fence. (The blue one was too tall.)
in a case like this the parenthesis (or whatever) are not around the whole sentence (or whatever).
(here they are.)

If the sentence begins and ends inside the (), the period goes inside. If the parenthesis are in only part of the sentence, then the period goes outside the parenthesis (like this).
